syslogrs

Basic syslog server with optional stdout display, log rotation, and compression.

Config

config.toml will be searched for in the following order (for now):

• ./config.toml
• /etc/syslogrs/config.toml

Sample config with all current available options:

[config]
# pipe logs to stdout (default: true)
display_stdout = true
# store logs (default: false)
store_logs = false
# compress logs on rotation (default: false)
compress = false
# interval in seconds to rotate logs (default: 86400)
log_rotate_interval = 86400
# directory to store logs (default: './')
log_dir = "./"
# listening port (default: 514)
port = 514

Build

Build using cargo:

cargo build

TODO

• After rotation, do not create new log until syslog is received (terminate thread?)
• Implement config option to rotate logs at a specific time (i.e. 00:00:00)
• Threading and writing needs to be reviewed for performance
• Add TLS support
• Support parsing BSD and IETF syslog formats
