On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I'm using the stock rsyslog configuration and added a custom file in /etc/rsyslog.d with the following contents:
# cat /etc/rsyslog.d/62-pc
local3.debug /var/log/pc/debug.log
local3.* /var/log/pc/main.log
The two referenced files exist and the files and containing directory are readable and writable by the syslog user. Yet, the only place I find the messages is /var/log/syslog
. /var/log/pc/main.log
is empty.
In addition, the messages in /var/log/syslog
.
I've checked that the program from which the messages originate is not the cause of these troubles: the problem also occurs with the logger
command.
What can be wrong here?
