syslog question

[jannl]

I enabled the syslog option in the Domoticz startfile.
The only entry I see in the logfile is the starting and stopping of Domoticz.
Is this normal behaviour for the stable 3.4834

[gizmocuz]

it also does not report any errors (if there are errors?)

[jannl]

Hm, not sure. I will check tonight

I use syslog for a long time with these daemon arguments:

"$DAEMON_ARGS -daemon -www 80 -loglevel 0 -syslog local1"

It's working just fine.

+1 on ok. Must be combined with -daemon to take effect.

[jannl]

I am on stable, the local1 option is not in the stable at the moment (when I am correct).

@gizmocuz: no errors are present in syslog, but present in the domoticz log

[shkaff]

I use the same stable version.
And I have the same problem = all variants of -syslog local0...local7 settings are ignored

Instead, some logging info is fragmented across

facility 1 (/var/log/user.log & syslog):
Domoticz is starting up....
Domoticz running...
...
Domoticz is exiting...
Domoticz stopped...

facility 3 (/var/log/daemon.log & syslog):
Starting LSB: Home Automation System...

I configured mosquitto for syslog local5 and I have all its messages logged properly as facility 21

Something is wrong about that in this stable version
