Hm, not a bad idea. Do you still have the patch around? Probably, but it IIRC it wasn't shippable. It'll be archived at my old place of work. I'll check for it. Created attachment 4774 [details]
As I suspected - more of a local hack than something we can ship as-is. But I think the thing with the struct logfilerec list is how we need to go about it.
Good idea. I second that request. There is an ability to specify hostnames as message filter parameters in FreeBSD syslogd (also see #29990 for my port of another, similar FreeBSD feature). This provides no direct mapping to /var/log/remote/$hostname, but it should be rather easily implemented on top of that as you know the hostname already when you're doing that. So, where do we go from here? - Close the bug WONTFIX - follow Pekka's idea - adopt syslog-ng? So we ship both rsyslog and syslog-ng in Fedora these days, with rsyslog the default, and the first item in the rsyslog FAQ is "How to separate log files by host name of sending device". So I suspect there is no point in keeping this ancient ticket open. |
