Super :)

I'm working on device stuff again (after lot of weeks being busy for my employer + health). I will prepare next patch on sunday, maybe it will be mature enough to sync it into CVS.

Hi,

i have one question - what about to add possibility to choose syslog facility to monit?

In our environment (tens of servers) we use central syslog server, which catches feeds from all services. With some more feature rich syslog servers (such as syslog-ng) it is not issue to have the same facility for different targets (you can filter logs with the same facility by program name), but with OS default and widely used syslog (linux, solaris, ...) the only way is to set other facility (for example local3, etc.) which can be then redirected to other syslog server (all or nothing rule).

example:

user.debug /var/log/messages #system messages which we won't for some reason to send to central-syslog server local3.debug @central-syslog #monit messages which should be send to cetral-syslog server

If it will be possible to set local3 facility in monitrc, then it will be easy to do it without changing system syslog server SW.

What about it?

I'm +1 for adding syslog facility option to monit.

Cheers,
Martin
