Logging - The Void Linux Handbook
Logging
Syslog
The default installation comes with no syslog daemon. However, there are syslog implementations available in the Void repositories.
Socklog
socklog(8) is a syslog implementation
from the author of runit(8). Use socklog if
you're not sure which syslog implementation to use. To enable it, install the
socklog-void package and enable the socklog-unix and nanoklogd services.
Ensure no other syslog daemon is running.
The logs are saved in sub-directories of /var/log/socklog/, and svlogtail
can be used to access them conveniently.
The ability to read logs is limited to root and users who are part of the
socklog group.
Other syslog daemons
The Void repositories also include packages for rsyslog and metalog.
