Using rsyslog to create different log files for different processes
- by user80203
Scenario: I am running a cluster of machines. Each machine runs various python programs with a unique (across the cluster), but dynamically set, ID.
Right now, they are all logging locally. So, I might have logs that look like:
process_5.log
process_6.log
for processes that had ID's 5 and 6.
Another machine may have:
process_20.log
process_25.log
I wish to forward these logs to a logserver running rsyslogd. Python's logging facility has a nice syslog handler, so I understand how I could connect to the remote server. What I haven't figured out is how to use templating/DynFile to maintain log separation.
e.g. on the logserver, I will want to see:
process_5.log
process_6.log
process_20.log
process_25.log
which correspond to the logs of the same name on the sending machine.
Is there a way to pull this off with rsyslogd templating?
