22.1 Configuring Carat system logging properties
carat-syslog.properties in conf directory of Carat installation contains Carat system
logger client configuration parameters:
.level= INFO
# Console handler configuration
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = INFO
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter =
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
# Syslog logger
com.agafua.syslog.SyslogHandler.transport = tcp
com.agafua.syslog.SyslogHandler.facility = local1
com.agafua.syslog.SyslogHandler.port = 514
com.agafua.syslog.SyslogHandler.hostname = localhost
Configure desired log level (default: INFO), facility (default: local1) and hostname (default:
localhost).
22.2 Configuring system logger daemon
rsyslog is the default system logger daemon in RHEL/CentOS operating systems. Open
/etc/rsyslog.conf file in an editor and do the following changes:
1. Uncomment following lines:
# Provides TCP syslog reception
#$ModLoad imtcp
#$InputTCPServerRun 514
2. Add $MaxMessageSize configuration parameter:
$MaxMessageSize 32768
Notice that "$MaxMessageSize" definition MUST be before "$ModLoad imtcp" line.
3. Add rule for Carat syslog level and facility.
If the defaults are used, add the following line to rules section:
local1.info /var/log/carat-xml-output.log
