 Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 7:27 pm Post subject: bash-logger logging to separate file with syslog-ng |
 |
|
small tip , maybe it'll be useful for smb.
i needed to log everything typed in bash to syslog , so i've found bash-logger for bash
but it logs ( almost floods )everything to /var/log/messages , syslog-ng displays the latter on /dev/tty12
i've done lil research in /usr/portage/app-shells/bash/files/bash-3.0-bash-logger.patch
syslog(LOG_LOCAL5 | LOG_INFO, "HISTORY: PID=%d UID=%d %s",
it means that bash logs for info and local5 facilities
short , to log typed commands in bash to a separate file you need to change/add following to /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
| Code: |
...
#define destinations
destination bash { file("/var/log/bash"); };
...
#create filters
filter f_bash { facility(local5); };
filter f_messages { level(info..warn)
and not facility(auth, authpriv, mail, news, local5); };
# connect filter and destination
log { source(src); filter(f_bash); destination(bash);};

and I have like this:
| Code: |
destination bash { file("/var/log/bash.log"); };
filter f_bash { match("^.?bash:.*"); };
filter f_notbash { not match("^.?bash:.*"); };
log { source(src); filter(f_messages); filter(f_notbash); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); filter(f_bash); destination(bash); };
