sun-streams: Collect messages on Sun Solaris
Solaris uses its STREAMS
framework to send messages to the syslogd
process. Solaris 2.5.1 and above uses an IPC called door in addition to STREAMS
, to confirm the delivery of a message. The AxoSyslog application supports the IPC mechanism via the door()
option (see below).
Note
The
sun-streams()
driver must be enabled when the syslog-ng
application is compiled (see ./configure --help
).
The sun-streams()
driver has a single required argument specifying the STREAMS
device to open, and the door()
option. For the list of available optional parameters, see sun-streams() source options.
Note
Starting with version 3.7, the AxoSyslog
system()
driver automatically extracts the msgid from the message (if available), and stores it in the .solaris.msgid
macro. To extract the msgid from the message without using the system()
driver, use the extract-solaris-msgid()
parser. You can find the exact source of this parser in the AxoSyslog GitHub repository.
Declaration:
sun-streams(<name_of_the_streams_device> door(<filename_of_the_door>));
Example: Using the sun-streams() driver
source s_stream {
sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door"));
};
