can you change the cluster daemons\' logging facility?

I don't see anyway to do this in the configuration or the documentation. If you can't do this, then this should be considered a feature request. ---------- Action by: emoon Issue Registered ---------- Action by: robinson To clarify, you mean to change the fact that we use local4 as the log facility within syslog, not just the file to be logged to, or the fact that we use syslog? If you do wish to change it from local4 to say "authpriv" or "local7", is there a reason why? (such as using local4 for another application?) I do not know of anyway to change this currently, and I will need the answers to the above to be able to push this as a feature request. I will look into any intentions we have of changing this behavior, in the meantime. robinson assigned to issue for Amazon. Category set to: Applications Status set to: Waiting on Client ---------- Action by: emoon I don't have a problem with using syslog, I'm just looking to change the syslog log facility that's being defined from local4 to local7. We use local4 for other internal apps. Status set to: Waiting on Tech ---------- Action by: robinson It doesn't appear that this is possible currently. Looking into this as a feature request. ---------- Action by: robinson Frank: Can we evaluate this as a feature for the next cluster suite update? It makes sense, Amazon can't be the only people using local4 for other things.

Theoretically, it's not terribly difficult. ~2 hours work, tops, but it would require GUI changes too, so you should ask jparsons about it. Or we can leave it as 'advanced' and force people to use 'cludb' to alter the logging facility.
Created attachment 104438 [details] Log facility feature request implementation This enables changing the logging facility using: cludb -p cluster%logfacility <facil> Where <facil> is one of the strings from /usr/include/sys/syslog.h: local0..local8, kern, uucp, etc.
Verified by issuing 'cludb -p cluster%logfacility local5' and setting local5 in /etc/syslog.conf to go to /var/log/cluster5. Restarted the syslog service, moved a cluman service around to generate log messages. Made sure they went in the right place. No GUI changes made for this, run command line only to change log facility. clumanager-1.2.22-2 Ready for RHEL3-U4.
