I’m having some issues getting kam to log correctly to syslog after it daemonizes. I get all the initialization entries in the proper logfile but nothing after that – I have xlog statements throughout the config which only show up in syslog if fork=no. I’ve tested my syslog config with the system logger which works correctly executed as the kamailio user. If I run syslog in debug I don’t see it receiving anything from kam after initialization. Any ideas?

 

log_stderror=no

log_facility=LOG_LOCAL1

debug=7

fork=yes

children=4

 

/etc/syslog.conf (with tabs)

local1.debug                                    /var/log/globeop/kamailio.log 

 

This is the correct format of syslog in solaris. It only uses wildcard (*) in facility not levels. Specifying debug will include everything at higher levels. From the man page:

 

       For  a  given facility and level, syslogd matches all messages for that

       level and all higher levels. For example, an  entry  that  specifies  a

       level of crit also logs messages at the alert and emerg levels.

 

This config is working correctly on sol 10 with openser 1.3.
