Every + message that is logged records the date and time of the + event, and will generally also record the name of the + application that generated the message. When used in + conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel + can also be recorded. This is terribly useful, + especially for finding what happened when something goes + wrong. And something almost always will go wrong if + you wait long enough.... + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE + bool "Rotate message files" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD + help + This enables syslogd to rotate the message files + on his own. No need to use an external rotatescript. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG + bool "Remote Log support" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD + help + When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility can + be used to send system log messages to another system + connected via a network. This allows the remote + machine to log all the system messages, which can be + terribly useful for reducing the number of serial + cables you use. It can also be a very good security + measure to prevent system logs from being tampered with + by an intruder. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_DUP + bool "Support -D (drop dups) option" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD + help + Option -D instructs syslogd to drop consecutive messages + which are totally the same. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_CFG + bool "Support syslog.conf" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD + help + Supports restricted syslogd config.

This can be very useful for + systems with little or no permanent storage, since + otherwise system logs can eventually fill up your + entire filesystem, which may cause your system to + break badly. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG_BUFFER_SIZE + int "Circular buffer size in Kbytes (minimum 4KB)" + default 16 + range 4 2147483647 + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG + help + This option sets the size of the circular buffer + used to record system log messages. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGREAD + bool "logread" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG && BROKEN + help + If you enabled Circular Buffer support, you almost + certainly want to enable this feature as well. This + utility will allow you to read the messages that are + stored in the syslogd circular buffer. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LOGREAD_REDUCED_LOCKING + bool "Double buffering" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGREAD + help + 'logread' ouput to slow serial terminals can have + side effects on syslog because of the semaphore. + This option make logread to double buffer copy + from circular buffer, minimizing semaphore + contention at some minor memory expense. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_KLOGD + bool "klogd" + default y + help + klogd is a utility which intercepts and logs all + messages from the Linux kernel and sends the messages + out to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be logged. If + you wish to record the messages produced by the kernel, + you should enable this option. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_KLOGD_KLOGCTL + bool "Use the klogctl() interface" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_KLOGD + select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX + help + The klogd applet supports two interfaces for reading + kernel messages. Linux provides the klogctl() interface + which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer + independently from the file system. + + If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable + approach of reading them from /proc or a device node. + However, this method requires the file to be available. + + If in doubt, say 'Y'. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGGER + bool "logger" + default y + select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG + help + The logger utility allows you to send arbitrary text + messages to the system log (i.e. the 'syslogd' utility) so + they can be logged. This is generally used to help locate + problems that occur within programs and scripts. + +endmenu |
