man syslog.conf will explain ;)

auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security (same as auth), syslog, user, uucp and local0 through local7 are the supported facilyties.. python(.*) is not ;)

Good luck.

Cheers,

Hello , i want all my log messages from python to have in /var/log/python

Now they are in /var/log/messages:

Jun 9 12:10:51 sx1 kernel: klogd 1.4.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Jun 9 12:11:01 sx1 python: MM_MEMBERS [it] Nothing to do. Jun 9 12:11:02 sx1 python: MM_MEMBERS [research] Nothing to do. Jun 9 12:12:01 sx1 python: MM_MEMBERS [it] Nothing to do. Jun 9 12:12:01 sx1 python: MM_MEMBERS [research] Nothing to do.

So i have added to the end of the syslog.conf

# Python python.* /var/log/python

and restarted syslog,

then i have created /var/log/python and for sure addedd u+rw, g +rw, o+rw permissions

But, nothing, /var/log/python is empty

What am i doing wrong? (Centos 5.1)

Try syslog-ng...

It has much better filtering facilities..

Probably not at all. You would have to redirect .err or .warn for a facility, but this would redirect all other input to that channel as well. You can change facilities for some applications, but I don't know if Python allows this. What you could do, is extract all python stuff from the messages log regularly. I don't have a recommendation for such a program. If your purpose is to get rid of the python messages in messages that would still not achieve this ...

Not to disparage syslog-ng, but you may want to check out rsyslog. It'll very likely be the default in centos6, and is currently the default in fedora. You can check the fedora reasoning here -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureRsyslog

As a sneak preview I can already tell you that CentOS 5.2 already will have rsyslog instead of the old plain syslog.

Doesn't help you now, but rsyslog has the ability to filter by regular expression in addition to the usual log facilities, and rsyslog will be in 5.2 when it gets released. So if you can wait until 5.2 comes out, you'll be able to filter the way you want.
