Hi Guys,
I just spent the last half hour learning syslog and log rolling with
postgres. Would there be objections to me expanding on the syslog
sections in the docs?
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/logfile-maintenance.html
I want to:
* Add a link to the third paragraph there where it says to set syslog to
2 that goes to the syslog section of the SET parameters page.
* Give an example of how to configure your syslog.conf to log to a
separate postgres log. eg:
"Depending on your system, to have syslog log PostgreSQL entries to a
particular file, add something like this to the top of your
/etc/syslog.conf:
# Log all 'postgres' events to /var/log/pgsql
!postgres
*.* /var/log/pgsql
# Nothing after this line applies to 'postgres'
!-postgres
"
* Mention that you might want to turn log_pid and log_timestamp off
since syslog logs them anyway
* Mention something about system log rotator? Or is that too
platform-specific?
Chris
