About:
NewSyslog is an updated version of a package put together by Theodore Tso of MIT Project Athena (which is included in NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.). It manages the rotation and archiving of log files (primarily those written to by syslogd). This version has a mix of features from all of the other versions, and it has been made more portable than any of the others with the help of GNU Autoconf.

[»] Wildcards or directory
by Lord Lundy - May 8th 2003 02:17:54


Have a directory of logs of either unknown names, or "too many to list". In particular from radius that just puts logs under NAS ip. Or http with many virtual hosts.

Would be nice to be able to specify an entire directory, "/path/dir/" or parhaps allow wildcards "/path/dir/*". And have it handle anything that matches. (Naturally knowing to ignore files created by itself *.gz or whatever).

[»] Date in file names
by degradas - Nov 25th 2002 07:52:28

It would be very useful if newsyslog had an option to add date into archived file's name, for example, maillog.2002.11.25.gz instead of maillog.0.gz

I had to switch to another method of log rotation just because of this :/ (very unfortunate, since newsyslog otherwise would be an excellent alternative).

[»] Feature Request:

The ability to specify a pipe in the syslog.conf would be very useful.

    Presumably you're thinking of the program usually called 'syslogd', not this one, which is called 'newsyslog'. :-)

    (note syslog-ng already has a pipe() driver)
