  12         help
  13           klogd is a utility which intercepts and logs all
  14           messages from the Linux kernel and sends the messages
  15           out to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be logged. If
  16           you wish to record the messages produced by the kernel,
  17           you should enable this option.

  22 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_KLOGD_KLOGCTL
  23         bool "Use the klogctl() interface"
  24         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_KLOGD_KLOGCTL
  25         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_KLOGD
  26         select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
  27         help
  28           The klogd applet supports two interfaces for reading
  29           kernel messages. Linux provides the klogctl() interface
  30           which allows reading messages from the kernel ring buffer
  31           independently from the file system.
  32
  33           If you answer 'N' here, klogd will use the more portable
  34           approach of reading them from /proc or a device node.
  35           However, this method requires the file to be available.
  36
  37           If in doubt, say 'Y'.
  38 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGGER
  39         bool "logger"
  40         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LOGGER
  41         select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
  42         help
  43             The logger utility allows you to send arbitrary text
  44             messages to the system log (i.e. the 'syslogd' utility) so
  45             they can be logged. This is generally used to help locate
  46             problems that occur within programs and scripts.
  47 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGREAD
  48         bool "logread"
  49         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LOGREAD
  50         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_IPC_SYSLOG
  51         help
  52           If you enabled Circular Buffer support, you almost
  53           certainly want to enable this feature as well. This
  54           utility will allow you to read the messages that are
  55           stored in the syslogd circular buffer.
  56
  57 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LOGREAD_REDUCED_LOCKING
  58         bool "Double buffering"
  59         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_LOGREAD_REDUCED_LOCKING
  60         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGREAD
  61         help
  62           'logread' ouput to slow serial terminals can have
  63           side effects on syslog because of the semaphore.
  64           This option make logread to double buffer copy
  65           from circular buffer, minimizing semaphore
  66           contention at some minor memory expense.
  67
  68 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD
  69         bool "syslogd"
  70         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_SYSLOGD
  71         help
  72           The syslogd utility is used to record logs of all the
  73           significant events that occur on a system. Every
  74           message that is logged records the date and time of the
  75           event, and will generally also record the name of the
  76           application that generated the message. When used in
  77           conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel
  78           can also be recorded. This is terribly useful,
  79           especially for finding what happened when something goes
  80           wrong. And something almost always will go wrong if
  81           you wait long enough....

  83 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE
  84         bool "Rotate message files"
  85         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE
  86         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD
  87         help
  88           This enables syslogd to rotate the message files
  89           on his own. No need to use an external rotate script.
  90
  91 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG
  92         bool "Remote Log support"
  93         default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG
  94         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD
  95         help
  96           When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility can
  97           be used to send system log messages to another system
  98           connected via a network. This allows the remote
  99           machine to log all the system messages, which can be
 100           terribly useful for reducing the number of serial
 101           cables you use. It can also be a very good security
 102           measure to prevent system logs from being tampered with
 103           by an intruder.
 104
 105 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOGD_DUP
 106         bool "Support -D (drop dups) option"

 108         depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSLOGD
 109         help
 110           Option -D instructs syslogd to drop consecutive messages
 111           which are totally the same.

 125         help
 126           This option sets the size of the syslog read buffer.
 127           Actual memory usage increases around five times the
 128           change done here.

 134         help
 135           When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility will
 136           use a circular buffer to record system log messages.
 137           When the buffer is filled it will continue to overwrite
 138           the oldest messages. This can be very useful for
 139           systems with little or no permanent storage, since
 140           otherwise system logs can eventually fill up your
 141           entire filesystem, which may cause your system to
 142           break badly.

 158         help
 159           When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility will
 160           write system log message to the Linux kernel's printk buffer.
 161           This can be used as a smaller alternative to the syslogd IPC
 162           support, as klogd and logread aren't needed.

 164           NOTICE: Syslog facilities in log entries needs kernel 3.5+.
