socklog-conf8

Usage

Overview

socklog-conf creates /etc/sv if necessary and a subdirectory that runs the unix, inet, ucspi-tcp or notify service (see below for each service). Except for the notify service, socklog-conf also creates a log directory with subdirectories.

acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters.

Unix service

socklog-conf unix acct logacct

Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument unix, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-unix and the log directory /var/log/socklog.

socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on /dev/log.

It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix

Inet service

socklog-conf inet acct logacct

Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument inet, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-inet and the log directory /var/log/socklog-inet.

socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen for syslog messages on the UDP socket 0.0.0.0:514.

It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-inet. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet

Klog service

socklog-conf klog acct logacct

Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument klog, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-klog and the log directory /var/log/socklog-klog.

socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to read kernel messages from /proc/kmsg on Linux, or /dev/socklog-klog on BSD.

It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-klog. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog

Ucspi-TCP service

socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct

Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and the log directory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.

socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116.

It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp. The logs are owned by logacct. The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of logacct.

You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp

Notify service

socklog-conf notify acct grp

Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument notify, socklog-conf creates the service directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify.

socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen on the named pipe /var/log/socklog/.notify. The named pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of acct and the gid of grp.

All uids running a log service that is configured to push log events to the socklog-notify service must be member of the group grp.

You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8) program:

update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify
