I’m trying to get the asterisk logger to log to syslog but I keep getting this when I run ‘CLI> logger reload’.
ERROR: Unable to create log channel 'syslog.localxx
for the last line of logger.conf I have this:
syslog.localxx => notice,warning,error,verbose
whatever number I substitute for the xx it doesn’t work. I can’t use local0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 because syslog is already using these for other logs. How do I get the asterisk logger to work?
Local only has 0 thru 7. What number as you substituting for XX?
Perhaps you can use a different facility, such as uucp or news.
Perhaps you can share a facility with some other process and use grep to split them apart after the fact.
There is also SyslogNG as a replacement for syslog.
ah right, that explains why local8 local9 local10 etc won’t work. I’ll take a look at syslog-ng.
