  linux下会看到早期的syslog服务，但后续就看到只使用rsyslog服务了

    rsyslog 相当于 syslog的升级版，rsyslog可以将日志写到文件中

linux上的日志系统：
包括 Syslog,syslog-ng
日志系统：
     1.信息详细程序：日志级别
     2.子系统: facility,设施
     3.动作：

syslog服务：为各程序记录log（2个)
   两个进程：
   1.syslogd:记录非内核日志
   2.klogd:记录内核日志
   
   配制文件:/etc/syslog.conf


kernel---物理终端--(/dev/console）--->/var/log/dmsg
/sbin/init开始的信息输出到    
     /var/log/messages：系统标准错误解日志信息:非内核算产引导信息,各进程产生的信息
     /var/log/maillog
     /var/log/secure

日志需要滚雪动:
     message message.1 message.2
     logrotate：/etc/logrotate
     ls /etc/cron.daily

调度:
[root@server1 iosched]# cd /etc/cron.daily
[root@server1 cron.daily]# ll
total 24
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  196 Jul 18  2013 logrotate
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  905 Feb 22  2013 makewhatis.cron
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  174 Sep 24  2012 mlocate.cron
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2126 Jul 19  2013 prelink
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  563 Nov 23  2013 readahead.cron
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  365 Oct 16  2009 tmpwatch

[root@server1 cron.daily]# vi logrotate
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf >/dev/null 2>&1
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0

logrotae.conf配制文件:

[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.conf 
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly

# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

# use date as a suffix of the rotated file
dateext

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
        minsize 1M
    rotate 1
}

/var/log/btmp {
    missingok
    monthly
    create 0600 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

在这个目录下建立自已的目录：
[root@server1 logrotate.d]# pwd
　　 /etc/logrotate.d
[root@server1 logrotate.d]# ls
　 　dracut  psacct  syslog  yum

vi  /etc/rsyslog.conf   //异步写入,即写入内存不写入磁盘

mail.*                                                  -/var/log/maillog

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg                                                 *

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log

service syslog restart
service syslog reload  :不重起服务,就可以加载配制文件


mail.*                                     @172.0.0.1

[root@server1 init.d]# rpm -ql rsyslog
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/etc/pki/rsyslog
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rsyslog
/etc/rsyslog.conf
/etc/rsyslog.d
/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog
/sbin/rsyslogd

 

客户端程序编写：

#include <syslog.h>
int main(void){
 int log_test;
 openlog("log_test", LOG_PID|LOG_CONS, LOG_USER);
 syslog(LOG_INFO, "PID information, pid=%d\n", getpid());
 syslog(LOG_EMERG, "debug message\n");
 closelog();
 return 0;
}


LOG_EMERG:会发送到所有的终端上：

 man openlog:

void openlog(const char *ident, int option, int facility);
void syslog(int priority, const char *format, ...);

 option
       The option argument to openlog() is an OR of any of these:

       LOG_CONS       Write  directly  to system console if there is an error while sending to
                      system logger.

       LOG_NDELAY     Open the connection immediately (normally, the connection is opened when
                      the first message is logged).

       LOG_NOWAIT     Don’t  wait for child processes that may have been created while logging
                      the message.  (The GNU C library does not create  a  child  process,  so
                      this option has no effect on Linux.)

       LOG_ODELAY     The  converse  of LOG_NDELAY; opening of the connection is delayed until
                      syslog() is called.  (This is the default, and need not be specified.)

       LOG_PERROR     (Not in POSIX.1-2001.)  Print to stderr as well.

       LOG_PID        Include PID with each message.

   facility
       The facility argument is used to specify what type of program is logging  the  message.
       This  lets  the configuration file specify that messages from different facilities will
       be handled differently.

       LOG_AUTH       security/authorization messages (DEPRECATED Use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead)

       LOG_AUTHPRIV   security/authorization messages (private)

       LOG_CRON       clock daemon (cron and at)

       LOG_DAEMON     system daemons without separate facility value

       LOG_FTP        ftp daemon

       LOG_KERN       kernel messages (these can’t be generated from user processes)

       LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7
                      reserved for local use

       LOG_LPR        line printer subsystem

       LOG_MAIL       mail subsystem

       LOG_NEWS       USENET news subsystem

       LOG_SYSLOG     messages generated internally by syslogd(8)

       LOG_USER (default)
                      generic user-level messages

       LOG_UUCP       UUCP subsystem



   level
       This determines the importance of the message.  The levels are, in order of  decreasing
       importance:

       LOG_EMERG      system is unusable

       LOG_ALERT      action must be taken immediately

       LOG_CRIT       critical conditions

       LOG_ERR        error conditions

       LOG_WARNING    warning conditions

       LOG_NOTICE     normal, but significant, condition

       LOG_INFO       informational message

       LOG_DEBUG      debug-level message

       The function setlogmask(3) can be used to restrict logging to specified levels onl
