#42: Redirection of logs into /var/log through syslog ------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: olichtne | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Push LNST as a package into Fedora Component: component1 | Version: Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | ------------------------+------------------------------------------------- In todays meeting we agreed that it would be ideal if logs were centralized somewhere in the /var/log path. However since we cannot guarantee that we have root access we can't directly create them here.
Therefore we would like to use syslog for this purpose. If this is possible to do with our current logging system.

Just a note to this bug.
There is a packet capture feature I implemented that stores files to the directory with log files. We need to fix that as well in case we will use syslog for slave-side logging.
I also think, that we should use syslog only on slaves. /var/log directory is supposed to store system logs, but logs from nettestctl are more test results than logs (in my opinion).

I have looked into this and we talked about this in the meeting. We agreed that using syslog is not an option due to the number of problems this creates.
However we agreed that we want slaves to run as daemons and store their status logs into '/var/log/lnst/'. On slaves we can count on having root privileges therefore we will be storing the logs here directly, and maybe use syslog for the basic info messages.
