note 79554 added to function.syslog

If anyone is wondering why their log messages are appearing in multiple log files, here is one answer applying to *nix systems: If your syslog.conf looks like this (assuming you use LOG_LOCAL0 for web app logging) : local0.info /var/log/web/info.log This will collect *all* messages of LOG_INFO level and higher, i.e everything except debug messages Try this instead to ensure that only messages of the named log level go into the relevant log file: local0.=info /var/log/web/info.log Additionally, you may like to add this to ensure your messages don't end up in generic log files like "messages" "all" "syslog" and "debug": local0.none /var/log/messages local0.none /var/log/debug etc saves disk space among other things - more at "man syslog.conf" ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.19 Probable Submitter: 202.173.133.239 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.syslog.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79554 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79554 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79554 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
