isc-dhcpd logging

[alex.md]

Hey everyone,

I faced an issue with dhcpd logging.

Configured logging:

gw# less /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf | grep log
log-facility local7;

gw# less /etc/rc.conf | grep dhcpd
dhcpd_enable="YES"
dhcpd_ifaces="em3"

gw# cat /etc/syslog.conf | grep dhcpd
!dhcpd
*.*                                             /var/log/dhcpd.log

But I only see daemon startup logs in /var/log/messages. Tried versions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3. Each time keep getting the same result.

Please advice if how solve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Alex

Did you restart syslogd(8) after making changes to /etc/syslog.conf?

Sure, I restarted syslogd after making changes.

The syslogs it sends are ok: started with or without full path, it does

sendto(3,"<27>Feb 16 00:08:02 dhcpd: exiti

I used to sprinkle files with 0xA0, nobreakspace, clumsy fingers tripping AltGr-space. Really hard to spot and sometimes wierd error messages. Got rid of it with xmodmap. I mean, look carefully around !dhcpd

OCD made me check that <27>. It's daemon.err, not local7.err.
OCD squared: Never mind, facility will change after initialization is complete.

Hi alex.md,

Did you ever resolve your issue? I have been trying to sort out my issues with isc-dhcpd logging too and have been unsuccessful. I do have logs from suricata and argus, but that is another story.
