Remote Syslog Settings - 20.1.RC

(1/2) > >>

Can't find anything in the 20.1 release notes but GUI in 19.7 at

System: Settings: Logging had a section for remote syslog

at 20.1.RC its missing and only Local Logging options exist

Did I miss something ?

franco:
From the upcoming 20.1 release notes:

To prevent stale configuration files for remote syslog we advise to setup the new targets first and disable the old ones under System: Settings: Logging

https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/settingsmenu.html#logging-targets


Cheers,
Franco

nivek1612:
Yes I missed that :-(

Mine wasn't set up anyway, so nothing to delete but what I had missed in the docs was this

"The remote logging feature will likely be removed in OPNsense 20.1, since the new Logging / targets offers more flexibility and has overlapping functionality. We advise to switch as soon as possible."

One final question now I've seen this I would have assumed the "syslog-ng" service would also be deleted (mine is still active) or is that a 20.1.1 activity/cleanup

franco:
Syslog-ng is the main syslogger. The older "syslogd" may be removed at some later point in time depending on how we go forward dealing with circular logging support.


Cheers,
Franco

thank you all clear now

20.1.RC1 is surviving all the load testing and reboots etc that I'm throwing at it so seems very good so far
