--- Comment #13 from Peter Bena <[email protected]> --- there /is/ rsyslog installed, it may not be configured to work well enough because IMHO single instance of rsyslog doesn't even support such a complex configuration that it would log the local syslog (the one in /var/log) to local fs and remote syslog from certain kind of services to network storage - I think we would need to spawn multiple rsyslog daemons for that. If you know how to do that - do that! Bots project is a testing environment for this kind of stuff, you can have root there if you don't have it already and there is equivalent of this on bots-syslog (identical server as tools-syslog) Once you finish configuration of rsyslog, then preferably either insert it to puppet class (syslog.pp in modules/toollabs/manifests) or just document it and I will do it. This bug is about central logging service - which we apparently have now. I believe that wast majority of tool operators will prefer something really simple over stuff that is complicated - this daemon allows you to define things like if the logs should be written in a txt / xml / html file how they should be formatted per line, define own formatting on demand or define own sections for logfiles on demand per tool. This isn't possible in rsyslog without changing configuration files. Rsyslog is a good tool for gathering system (server / kernel / daemon) logs for person with root on server, but it is lacking features bot operators might use. However I have nothing against having multiple options for people, if you like rsyslog, or whatever else, why not...
