[chef] Re: Logging to syslog

[Tom Thomas < >]

The page that was linked off to from that bad link was blank.  It was started by "Rafael" in 2010 by creating a page with the title, but there was no content.

I've created a page "Advanced Configuration Settings with Ruby", and put the readme from the mixlib-log that is linked to at http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Chef+Configuration+Settings#ChefConfigurationSettings-logoutput.

Those with knowledge on how to make it more than that can either edit the page directly, or send me the information.

I see from the documentation (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Chef+Configuration+Settings#ChefConfigurationSettings-logoutput) that it is possible to log to syslog, but the link that I guess is supposed to explain how to do so is broken. I'm afraid I'm not a Ruby person so, while I realise the config file is just Ruby and it's probably a simple task to do so, I'm not entirely sure how to do it without a pointer or two, and this is functionality I couldn't use Chef without (we have to have all our logs centralised, which obviously is fairly easy to take care of when using syslog).

Thanks,
