Description |
Hello, my name is Jairo and I am currently working for Miracle Linux in Japan on Zabbix development. We have extended the Zabbix server and agent to be able to use Syslog for logging purposes if it is so required by users. By default the operation is the same as it has always been. The configuration files now accept the SyslogFacility= variable, permitting the user to use the default daemon based logging or the Syslog LOG_LOCAL facilities from 0 to 7. Permitted syntax is SyslogFacility=local0 or SyslogFacility=0 for 0 to 7. The default is SyslogFacility=daemon. For the SyslogFacility variable to be taken into account the configuration variable LogFile must not be present. We thank you for your time and hope to receive comments! |
