I am using vsyslog() function in my application to write logs to syslog. I could see the logs in /var/log/syslog as follows.
Oct 6 11:25:23 machine application [4544]: cleanup code starts
What is this number [4544] stands for?
I configured syslog.conf to send logs to kiwi syslog server. After resetting (/etc/init.d/syslog restart),the server got log the message: "syslog 1.4.2 restart". But am getting just resetting message, nor other syslog message (using code or using logger command). I have other computer that send all the syslog messages.

I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles.

I'm new here, hope to not be obnoxious... I've been using linux systems for a long time (work in science), but have only minimal experience as administrator. And today, following insomnia, I found myself typing (as root):
Code: yum remove `package-cleanup --leaves` I am not usually quite so stupid... (I had intended to upgrade from fedora 12 to 15) But now I can't login at all (either as the normal user or root), though the machine seems to boot properly. Currently I'm using a live distro on a usb key. Can this be undone?
the time format i have used is %m:%d:%Y:%H:%M:%S eg- 06:21:10:13:29:18 and i want to convert it to 2010-06-21 13:29:18..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop. After installing many apps and finding I didn't need some, I did some cleanup. I must've cleaned too much because now Ubuntu won't boot. On boot, I see the Ubuntu logo with the five dots under it. The dots change color as if something is in progress, but it won''t get beyond that. I am relatively new to Ubuntu and I want to stay with it because it's an excellent system. I have worked extensively with Unix in the past but not with a GUI front-end.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am configuring syslog-ng on my server.
I suspect something to be wrong.
Is there a tool I can use in the shell to generate a log? So I can check that the log appear in the syslog file.
I am in a situation where I am stuck with a LVM cleanup process. Although I know a lot about AIX LVM , but this is first time I am working with Linux LVM2. Problem is that I created two RAID arrays on storage, which appeared as mpath0 & mpath1 devices (multipath) on RHEL. I created logical volumes and volume groups and every thing was fine till I decided to clean the storage arrays and ran following script:
#!/bin/sh
cat /scripts/numbers | while read numbers
do
lvremove -f /dev/vg$numbers/lv_vg$numbers
vgremove -f vg$numbers
pvremove -f /dev/mapper/mpath$numbersp1
done
Please note that numbers was a file in same directory, having numbers 1 and 2 in separate line. Scripts worked well and i was able to delete definitions properly (however I now think I missed one parted command to remove the partition definition from mpath device. When I created three new arrays, I got devices from mpath2 to mpath5 on linux and then I created vg0 to vg2. By mistake, I ran above script again for cleanup purpose and now I got following error message
Cant remove physical volume /dev/mapper/mpath2p1 of volume group vg0 without ff[/B]
Now after doing mind search, I now realize that I have messed up (particularly because mpath devices did not map in sequence to vg devices and mapping was like mpath2 --- to ---- vg0 and onwards). Now how I can cleanup the lvm definitions? should i go for pvremove -ff flag or investigate further? I am not concerned about data, I just want to cleanup these pv/vg/lv/mpath definations so that lvm can be cleaned up properly and I can start over with new raid arrays from storage?
I have a problem that is probably simple, but have not yet found the answer on any forums or by Googling. First my system specs:Tyan 2610 motherboard w/ 2 x PIII 9334 gig PC133 SDRAM
1 x 5 gig hd (system)4 x 500 gig hds w/ 3Ware 7500 controller set to RAID 5, (1.5 TB) mounted as /homeCentOS 5.3 running my smb and nfs mountsMy problem is that I have run out of space on my / (root) file system, (the 5 gig). Since I am planing to rebuild my file server with larger hard drives, (2 x's 60 gig SATA's set to RAID 1, 6 x's 1.5 TB at RAID 5), within the next 2 months, I would like to try to clean out any unneeded crap rather than adding a hard drive and expanding my root file system. I have done the following:
Removed old unused kernels
cleaned up /var/log/
cleaned up /tmp

A Microsoft anti virus program (Security Essentials) cleaned out a bunch of problems in Windows XP and now I don't have the double boot option any more. What do I change to get Ubuntu option back? OH, I also had to do a checkpoint restore prior to that but it was after I had installed Ubunto (I think). Which leads me to ask....how do I identify the Ubuntu disk space I allocated at install time? I can't seem to find it.

i installed many security programs as a switching from windows guy and decided to get rid of them last night. I uninstalledgufw, clamav(and all based packages), firestarterusing synapticbefore i rebooted the system the internet was well and working. but after i rebooted i had no internet access;firefox couldn't retrieve, update manager and apt-get couldn't connect.the computer knows it's connected to the router i see the connection established sign but I can't even connect to the router by typing "192.168.2.1".the computer can ping itself(127.0.0.1) but can't ping itself in the network (the dhcp address is 192.168.2.3) and replies "operation denied" or something like that.I rebooted using live-cd and connected with no problems; the my internet connection is fineany thoughts will be appreciated P.S.: I did a fast check on the forums and couldn't find anything related; i didn't check thoroughly though.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHave Ubuntu & it was working well, but has become slow, 'greys out' on me regularly - eg. pic loses colour & nothing will respond for a few or more seconds. Also 'Ubuntu Software Centre' & "Synaptic' thingy come up with errors, saying can't install or uninstall progs. Although it seems they may do it OK despite saying they can't. Have Computer Janitor installed, but this is no longer working at all. So... is there a program or such that I can use to test/clean out the system?? For that matter, is there a program for testing hardware, as I'm not sure if it's an indication of unhealthy hard drive or such?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Tomato router and it has the capability to have its logs go to a external server. syslog is the obvious choice for this. So I enabled remote logging on my linux server's syslogd (syslogd -r) and I can see all of the logs in /var/log/syslog. What I want to do is take everything that comes from the IP of my router (10.0.0.1) and divert it to its own file like /var/log/tomato to avoid polluting my syslog with external logs.
I can't find any examples of someone doing this. My only solution is to get a script together that strips out any line in /var/log/syslog with 10.0.0.1 in it and puts the line into /var/log/tomato and have the script run as a cron job, but that seems unnecessarily messy.
Unless someone knows that there is a solution, I'm 95% sure that syslog doesn't support this after reading more in-depth of the man page. So I need to migrate to syslog-ng or make a crazy script that runs with cron.
i installed php-syslog-ng 2.9.8m in RHEL5 box. I saw logs from the local machine once the cron execute in every one minute.I dont need to appear those in my syslog console. I want to disable these from my linux box.How can i archive this
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a syslogd on my ubuntu 10.10 system. I have a apache2 server on the same machine. I have configured my apache2.conf file to send the error logs to the local syslog server.
The config is as under :-
LogLevel notice
ErrorLog syslog:local1
I have also configured the /etc/syslog.conf as under :-
local1.info /var/log/apache2/error_logs
I have created a file in the /var/log/apache2 dir with the ownerships and permissions as under:-
-rwxrwxrwx 1 syslog adm 77 2011-08-11 18:14 /var/log/apache2/error_logs
Next I restarted the sysklogd and apache2 servers with a service command as under:-
sudo service sysklogd restart
sudo service apache2 restart
I thereafter observed the /var/log/apache2/error_logs file and found the entries for apache2 closing down and coming up as under:-
Aug 11 18:14:14 cc apache2[4940]: [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] ModSecurity for Apache/2.5.12 [URL] configured.
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] Original server signature: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o

Now the problem is I donot get any other messages thereafter. So it is hardly useful. How can I increase the logged messages from apache. I tried the facility:
local1.*
Then restarted the sysklogd and apache2, but the contents of the /var/log/error_logs file remained similar. Next, I followed the link. I created the perl script for recording access logs of apache2. I then restarted the apache2 and sysklogd. when I opened my website from a browser, the access log did not work. I think I am getting something wrong with the facility value , in apache2.conf it is ErrorLog syslog:local1 ! but the script is suggesting that it should be local2 in the line 4
openlog('apache','cons','pid','local2');
I therefore changed the script to local1 in above line. But still no access log?
