[Linux-HA] Logd directive question

[Geurts, G.P.T.M.]

Hi Dejan,
Thanks for your reply!
Ok, so the logd is just a piece of software connecting heartbeat to
syslog, and using the logd would give me the benefit of the 'bigger
number of messages' problem. But I cannot find any information on
logd.cf or ha_logd.cf
Could you direct me to a page explaining something about this file?
Ohw, by the way I'm using SLES10 SP2 and SLES doesn't include the
logd.cf or ha_logd.cf

Thanks!
Greetings,
Geert

logfacility is not deprecated, but logd is preferable. Of course, you
can use whatever you feel like.

In short, logd handles big number of messages better.
I guess that there's some information about it out there.

ha_logd does log through syslog. Just specify logfacility in
/etc/logd.cf.

Thanks,
