Mythlogserver
Note: The correct title of this article is mythlogserver. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
mythlogserver
is a program added in the 0.26 release.
Log messages generated by all of the other MythTV programs are sent to
mythlogserver
which then distributes them to files based on
the --syslog, and --logpath command line options as well
as to the database (if --nodblog isn't set.) For details on
how the loggin options work, refer to Logging.
A single copy of mythlogserver
is started on each host,
as soon as any MythTV program start,
typically mythbackend
and mythfrontend
.
mythlogserver
's own logging options are inherited from the
program that starts it. Log entires in mythlogserver
's own
log can be seen whenever one of its clients, such as a backend, starts
and stops using it. Also note that when mythlogserver
detects that no other MythTV program is using it, it will stop running
after 5 minutes.
See 0.26 specific sections in Logrotate All Applications and Simple rsyslog Configuration if they are used.
mythlogserver
uses ZeroMQ libraries, which
are included with the MythTV distribution.
