Maybe. For a home setup like mine that is not needed.
Agree. I was surprised to see rsyslog being the default - I guess you could still install syslog-ng instead?
Yes, it is provided, if I'm not mistaken. I can't do a quick check, webpin still does not work.
For now, my next step is to be able to log external sources (my router).
Should be easy, except if you have a Zyxel router.
Not the case :-) I had it working with syslog-ng, I just have to learn how to do it here.
Then I have to learn how to fire an external script triggered on a certain message, and then add a line to a log on the output of that script.
With syslog-ng(!), you can do that roughly like this:
I know, I did it, it works.
create a destination with pipe(), add appropriate filter. Then start e.g. a shell-script that reads from the pipe.
This is a nightmare with syslog-ng, because apparmour strongly dislikes it, so much that I had to disable AA for syslog-ng.
Uh, I've done that more than a few times, apparmor never got in the way AFAIR.
It does here. AA does not allow syslog-ng to start any other process, even less a shell script. I had to dissable it. Perhaps writing to a named pipe instead would work :-? But never mind, my problem now is to replicate the setup with rsyslog. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
