Every + message that is logged records the date and time of the + event, and will generally also record the name of the + application that generated the message. When used in + conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel + can also be recorded. This is terribly useful, + especially for finding what happened when something goes + wrong. And something almost always will go wrong if + you wait long enough.... + +config FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE + bool "Rotate message files" + default n + depends on SYSLOGD + help + This enables syslogd to rotate the message files + on his own. No need to use an external rotatescript. + +config FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG + bool "Remote Log support" + default n + depends on SYSLOGD + help + When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility can + be used to send system log messages to another system + connected via a network. This allows the remote + machine to log all the system messages, which can be + terribly useful for reducing the number of serial + cables you use. It can also be a very good security + measure to prevent system logs from being tampered with + by an intruder. + +config FEATURE_SYSLOGD_DUP + bool "Support -D (drop dups) option" + default n + depends on SYSLOGD + help + Option -D instructs syslogd to drop consecutive messages + which are totally the same. + +config FEATURE_SYSLOGD_READ_BUFFER_SIZE + int "Read buffer size in bytes" + default 256 + range 256 20000 + depends on SYSLOGD + help + This option sets the size of the syslog read buffer. + Actual memory usage increases around five times the + change done here. + +config FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG + bool "Circular Buffer support" + default n + depends on SYSLOGD + help + When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility will + use a circular buffer to record system log messages. + When the buffer is filled it will continue to overwrite + the oldest messages. This can be very useful for + systems with little or no permanent storage, since + otherwise system logs can eventually fill up your + entire filesystem, which may cause your system to + break badly. + +config FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG_BUFFER_SIZE + int "Circular buffer size in Kbytes (minimum 4KB)" + default 16 + range 4 2147483647 + depends on FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG + help + This option sets the size of the circular buffer + used to record system log messages. + +config LOGREAD + bool "logread" + default y + depends on FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG + help + If you enabled Circular Buffer support, you almost + certainly want to enable this feature as well.
