# socklog - examples

## listening on unix domain dgram socket `/dev/log`:

- a sample `socklog-unix/run` script:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec 2>&1
        exec chpst -Unobody socklog unix /dev/log

- a sample `socklog-unix/log/run` script:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec chpst -ulog svlogd \
          main/main main/auth main/cron main/daemon main/debug main/ftp \
          main/kern main/local main/mail main/news main/syslog main/user

- sample log `config` files:

        # cat main/config
        s999999
        n10

        # cat auth/config
        s999999
        n5
        -*
        +auth.*
        +authpriv.*

        # cat debug/config
        s999999
        n5
        -*
        +*.debug*

- if you want additional tai64n time-stamps prepended to each message, use this `socklog-unix/log/run` script as example:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec chpst -ulog svlogd -t \
          main/main main/auth main/cron main/daemon main/debug main/ftp \
          main/kern main/local main/mail main/news main/syslog main/user

## listening on udp network socket `0.0.0.0`:`514`:

- a sample `socklog-inet/run` script is:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec 2>&1
        exec chpst -Unobody socklog inet 0 514

- a sample `socklog-inet/log/run` script is:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec chpst -ulog svlogd -t main/main

## reading kernel messages from `/dev/klog` on BSD:

- a sample `socklog-klog/run` script on BSD:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec </dev/klog
        exec 2>&1
        exec chpst -unobody socklog ucspi

- a sample `socklog-klog/log/run`:

        #!/bin/sh
        exec chpst -ulog svlogd -t main/main

## A client for socklog network logging:

- a sample `socklog-unix/log/run` script and log `config` file that transmits the logs to a network logging server running the socklog-ucspi-tcp service on `10.0.0.16:10116` is (you need to have the netcat package installed):

        #!/bin/sh
        exec chpst -ulog svlogd ./main/main

        # cat main/config
        s4096
        n20
        !tryto -pv nc -q0 10.0.0.16 10116

## log events notification with wall:

- a sample `socklog-notify/run` script that uses wall for notification is:

        #!/bin/sh -e
        PIPE=/var/log/socklog/.notify
        if [ ! -p "$PIPE" ]; then mkfifo -m0620 "$PIPE"; chown log:adm "$PIPE"; fi
        exec <> "$PIPE"
        exec chpst -ulog uncat -s49999 -t180 sh -c 'head | wall'
