There may not be -.Em any -spaces in the action field. -The -.Em selector -field is separated from the -.Em action -field by one or more tab or space characters (this is a departure from the -standard BSD way of doing things: both tabs -.Em and -spaces may be used to separate the selector from the action). -.Pp -The -.Em Selector -functions -are encoded as a -.Em facility , -a period (``.''), and a -.Em level , -with no intervening white-space. -Both the -.Em facility -and the -.Em level -are case insensitive. -.Pp -The -.Em facility -describes the part of the system generating the message, and is one of -the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, -mark, news, syslog, user, uucp and local0 through local7. -These keywords (with the exception of mark) correspond to the -similar -.Dq Dv LOG_ -values specified to the -.Xr openlog 3 -and -.Xr syslog 3 -library routines. -.Pp -The -.Em level -describes the severity of the message, and is a keyword, optionally -preceded by an equals (``=''), from the following ordered list -(higher to lower): emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, -and debug. -These keywords correspond to the -similar -.Pq Dv LOG_ -values specified to the -.Xr syslog -library routine. -.Pp -See -.Xr syslog 3 -for a further descriptions of both the -.Em facility -and -.Em level -keywords and their significance. -.Pp -If a received message matches the specified -.Em facility -and is of the specified -.Em level -.Em (or a higher level if -.Em level -was specified without ``='') , -the action specified in the -.Em action -field will be taken. -.Pp -Multiple -.Em selectors -may be specified for a single -.Em action -by separating them with semicolon (``;'') characters. -It is important to note, however, that each -.Em selector -can modify the ones preceding it. -.Pp -Multiple -.Em facilities -may be specified for a single -.Em level -by separating them with comma (``,'') characters. -.Pp -An asterisk (``*'') can be used to specify all -.Em facilities -or all -.Em levels . -.Pp -The special -.Em facility -``mark'' receives a message at priority ``info'' every 20 minutes -(see -.Xr syslogd 8 ) . -This is not enabled by a -.Em facility -field containing an asterisk. -.Pp -The special -.Em level -``none'' disables a particular -.Em facility . -.Pp -The -.Em action -field of each line specifies the action to be taken when the -.Em selector -field selects a message. -There are four forms: -.Bl -bullet -.It -A pathname (beginning with a leading slash). -Selected messages are appended to the file. -.It -A hostname (preceded by an at (``@'') sign). -Selected messages are forwarded to the -.Xr syslogd -program on the named host. -.It -A comma separated list of users. -Selected messages are written to those users -if they are logged in. -.It -An asterisk. -Selected messages are written to all logged-in users. -.El -.Pp -Blank lines and lines whose first non-blank character is a hash (``#'') -character are ignored. -.Sh EXAMPLES -.Pp -A configuration file might appear as follows: -.Bd -literal -# Log all kernel messages, authentication messages of -# level notice or higher and anything of level err or -# higher to the console. -# Don't log private authentication messages! -*.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none /dev/console - -# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. -# Don't log private authentication messages! -*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages - -# Log debug messages only -*.=debug /var/log/debug - -# The authpriv file has restricted access. -authpriv.* /var/log/secure - -# Log all the mail messages in one place. -mail.* /var/log/maillog - -# Everybody gets emergency messages, plus log them on another -# machine. -*.emerg * -*.emerg @arpa.berkeley.edu - -# Root and Eric get alert and higher messages. -*.alert root,eric - -# Save mail and news errors of level err and higher in a -# special file. -uucp,news.crit /var/log/spoolerr -.Ed -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width /etc/syslog.conf -compact -.It Pa /etc/syslog.conf -The -.Xr syslogd 8 -configuration file. -.El -.Sh BUGS -The effects of multiple selectors are sometimes not intuitive. -For example ``mail.crit,*.err'' will select ``mail'' facility messages at -the level of ``err'' or higher, not at the level of ``crit'' or higher. -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr syslog 3 , -.Xr syslogd 8 -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Nm syslog.conf -file format is -.Ud . |
