Re: tmpfs

Hi,

first of all, logging is complicated, and maybe even a mess. Historically grown 
from different log routines and programs, as well as some packages providing 
their own mechanisms and so son - I agree this needs more consolidation and 
explanation/documentation.

These values are from hostapd.conf.

The value  for logger_syslog is documented as follows:
# Module bitfield (ORed bitfield) of modules that will be logged; -1 = all       
# modules):                                                                     
# bit 0 (1) = IEEE 802.11                                                       
# bit 1 (2) = IEEE 802.1X                                                       
# bit 2 (4) = RADIUS                                                            
# bit 3 (8) = WPA                                                               
# bit 4 (16) = driver interface                                                 
# bit 5 (32) = IAPP                                                             
# bit 6 (64) = MLME  

The value logger_syslog_level is linked in rsyslog.conf to the  logfile you 
choose for this log_level.

here hostapd.conf:

#Levels (minimum value for logged events):                                     
#  0 = verbose debugging                                                        
#  1 = debugging                                                                
#  2 = informational messages                                                   
#  3 = notification    
and so on

and in rsyslog.conf:

# Some "catch-all" log files.                                                   
#                                                                               
*.=debug;\                                                                      
        auth,authpriv.none;\                                                    
        news.none;mail.none     -/var/log/debug                                 
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\                                                     
        auth,authpriv.none;\                                                    
        cron,daemon.none;\                                                      
        mail,news.none          -/var/log/syslog  

Here are my entries for hostapd
logger_syslog=-1                                                                
logger_syslog_level=2

Meaning

- log all modules
- log with level "info"

and looking into rsyslog "info" goes to /var/log/syslog
