internal: Collect internal messages
All messages generated internally by AxoSyslog use the internal() source. To collect warnings, errors and notices from AxoSyslog itself, include this source in one of your source statements. The AxoSyslog application issues a warning upon startup if none of the defined log paths reference this driver.
internal()
The AxoSyslog application sends the following message types from the internal() source:
- fatal: Priority value: critical (2), Facility value: syslog (5)
- error: Priority value: error (3), Facility value: syslog (5)
- warning: Priority value: warning (4), Facility value: syslog (5)
- notice: Priority value: notice (5), Facility value: syslog (5)
- info: Priority value: info (6), Facility value: syslog (5)
Example: Using the internal() driver
source s_local { internal(); };
log { source(s_internal); destination(d_file); };
