Return data to the host operating system's syslog facility
To use the syslog returner, append '--return syslog' to the
salt command.
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' test.ping --return syslog
The following fields can be set in the minion conf file::
syslog.level (optional, Default: LOG_INFO)
syslog.facility (optional, Default: LOG_USER)
syslog.tag (optional, Default: salt-minion)
syslog.options (list, optional, Default: [])
Available levels, facilities, and options can be found in the
``syslog`` docs for your python version.
.. note::
The default tag comes from ``sys.argv[0]`` which is
usually "salt-minion" but could be different based on
the specific environment.
Configuration example:
.. code-block:: yaml
syslog.level: 'LOG_ERR'
syslog.facility: 'LOG_DAEMON'
syslog.tag: 'mysalt'
syslog.options:
- LOG_PID
Of course you can also nest the options:
.. code-block:: yaml
syslog:
level: 'LOG_ERR'
facility: 'LOG_DAEMON'
tag: 'mysalt'
options:
- LOG_PID
Alternative configuration values can be used by
prefacing the configuration. Any values not found
in the alternative configuration will be pulled from
the default location:
.. code-block:: yaml
alternative.syslog.level: 'LOG_WARN'
alternative.syslog.facility: 'LOG_NEWS'
To use the alternative configuration, append
``--return_config alternative`` to the salt command.
.. versionadded:: 2015.5.0
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' test.ping --return syslog --return_config alternative
To override individual configuration items, append
--return_kwargs '{"key:": "value"}' to the salt command.
.. versionadded:: 2016.3.0
.. code-block:: bash
salt '*' test.ping --return syslog --return_kwargs '{"level": "LOG_DEBUG"}'
.. note::
Syslog server implementations may have limits on the maximum
record size received by the client. This may lead to job
return data being truncated in the syslog server's logs. For
example, for rsyslog on RHEL-based systems, the default
maximum record size is approximately 2KB (which return data
can easily exceed). This is configurable in rsyslog.conf via
the $MaxMessageSize config parameter. Please consult your syslog
implmentation's documentation to determine how to adjust this limit.
