logging

Hello, First of all, I want to say that www/squid works great on FreeBSD. In this short tutorial, we will look at how to set up separate logging in the Squid proxy server to conveniently track successful, failed, and unspecified requests. This configuration allows system administrators to easily...

Hello! I work with FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE amd64 and send logs to a log-collector server (Debian 10 Buster). There's syslog-ng that have the config. Here's some additional lines to send logs to the remote server: 161 #log { source(src); destination(loghost); }; 162 destination lc_net {...

Hi FreeBSD Gurus! In case using bsd-based bare metal rack server as a gate fw/router: 1. How effectively would be using ZFS (in comparison to GPT, etc) file system in hardware RAID10 (4 of SSD TLC/MLC drives) ? 2. Is separating of /var, /tmp (also may be /usr) to another disk's logical volume...

Consider the following scenario: I placed httpd logs on a very slow device, yet the rest of the system is quite fast. And I start serving lots of pages, very fast, where the log partition just can't keep up, i.e. serving a page completes in way less time than writing a single log entry. What...

Logfile rotation, which is handled by newsyslog, can be done based on 1) max size of file, 2) at certain time. My questions is: how does it work when both the conditions are specified? I'd expect it'll rotate when any one condition is met. Is that correct? But for example, in my newsyslog.conf...

I had a virtual machine with limited RAM(4GB RAM+4GB swap partition,and 90M swap used). When I connect to it,some service might suffer tremendous lag for initial response(about 7-8sec). But once I got initial response,the following activity seems just fine. So I suspect that some process had...

I am trying to write a highly customized script in Python2.7 in order to persist some specific logging data. I have been using syslog-ng for a long time to that end, but I believe (and hope) that a simple Python script will handle things faster and will save me the hassle of installing and...

Good day! I have a FreeBSD 11.1 + Rsyslog + MySQL installation. And I need a web interface for log view. But almost all manuals suggests loganalyser for this. But it doesn't exist in ports. Maybe deleted some time ago? So what software I can use for centralize log view through web interface?

Hey, would anyone be able to tell me how I could use syslog to log stuff I do in my management scripts? Like I'd like to start writing scripts to automate some of the system's maintenance, but one of the things that's stopping me, I think, is that I don't really have an easy way to log what's...

Hello all, I wrote a script to direct all output to a log file, but I'd like to echo certain things during the process of the script to screen output if I can. I haven't been able to find anything related to this searching online, and the man page for sh is cryptic for me (as of now). Sample of...

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to record events when an user tries to access or execute a command/file that he doesn't have permissions to. So far, it seems like auditd is the way to go but I just can't get the configuration right. I've tried using ex,pc and na classes but...

Hallo everybody. I'm having problems to use a third software (the installation is completely correct). To continue developing that software, first of all, I'd like to see the logs of OpenJDK. By default, they are not configured; I've tried to find a way to configure them, but I didn't find...
