Octopussy Internals
How Octopussy handles logs
- syslog-ng receives syslog messages and forward them to octo_dispatcher.
- octo_dispatcher receives syslog messages and sort them by Device.
Logs are stored in the Device Incoming Logs Directory.
(/DEFAULT_STORAGE_INCOMING/devicename/Incoming/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM.log)
- one octo_parser by Device handle messages and sort them by Service.
- Logs that have been recognized are stored and zipped in the Device Known Logs Directory.
(/DEFAULT_STORAGE_KNOWN/devicename/servicename/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM.log.gz)
- Logs that haven't been recognized are stored and zipped in the Device Unknown Logs Directory.
(/DEFAULT_STORAGE_UNKNOWN/devicename/Unknown/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM.log.gz)
You can change Default Storages Locations in
