uiScribe uiScribe - Custom System Log page for "scribed" logs

[cmkelley]

I knew they happened right on the hour. The line that concerned me was "Follow-mode file source not found, deferring open; filename='/var/lib/logrotate.status'" , but I suppose it's normal, also, from what you guys say, and that's good enough for me.
thanks again,

Right, it's just saying the /var/lib/logrotate.status file doesn't exist, so it can't open it. If it gets written to, it will open it and read from it. You can eliminate the message by just using

touch /var/lib/logrotate.status

to create an empty file.

Thanks, I will do that. I appreciate it.

You have to have set up the Diversion filter for scribe (more specifically syslog-ng)

How do you do that?

 

[Khadanja]

here are some extra base filters
use nano in ssh and
nano /jffs/scripts/syslog-ng.d-filters
copy and paste into terminal and ctrl-x to save

#!/bin/sh
cat > /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/diversion <<'EOF'
# log all diversion and uiDivStats logs to diversion.log

destination d_diversion {
    file("/opt/var/log/diversion.log");
};

filter f_diversion {
    program("Diversion") or
    program("uiDivStats");
};

log {
    source(src);
    filter(f_diversion);
    destination(d_diversion);
    flags(final);
};

#eof
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/diversion

cat > /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/ethernet <<'EOF'
# log ethernet change to /opt/var/log/ethernet.log only

destination d_ethernet {
    file("/opt/var/log/ethernet.log");
};

filter f_kernel {
    program("kernel");
};

filter f_ethernet {
    message("eth1") or
    message("eth2") or
    message("eth3") or
    message("eth4") or
    message("eth5") or
    message("eth6") or
    message("eth7") or
    message("eth8") or
    message("br0:");
};

log {
    source(src);
    filter(f_kernel);
    filter(f_ethernet);
    destination(d_ethernet);
    flags(final);
};

#eof
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/ethernet

cat > /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/openvpn <<'EOF'
# log all openvpn server and client logs into one file - /opt/var/log/openvpn.log and stop processing openvpn logs

destination d_openvpn {
    file("/opt/var/log/openvpn.log");
};

filter f_openvpn {
    program("ovpn-server1") or
    program("ovpn-server2") or
    program("ovpn-client1") or
    program("ovpn-client2") or
    program("ovpn-client3") or
    program("ovpn-client4") or
    program("ovpn-client5") or
    program("openvpn-routing");
};

log {
    source(src);
    filter(f_openvpn);
    destination(d_openvpn);
    flags(final);
};

#eof
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/openvpn

cat > /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/pixelserv <<'EOF'
# log all pixelserv-tls logs to /opt/var/log/pixelserv.log and stop processing pixelserv-tls logs

destination d_pixelserv {
    file("/opt/var/log/pixelserv.log");
};

filter f_pixelserv {
    program("pixelserv-tls");
};

log {
    source(src);
    filter(f_pixelserv);
    destination(d_pixelserv);
    flags(final);
};

#eof
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/syslog-ng.d/pixelserv

then copy and paste sh /jffs/scripts/syslog-ng.d-filters

next the logrotate
same
nano /jffs/scripts/logrotate.d-filters

#!/bin/sh
cat > /opt/etc/logrotate.d/diversion <<'EOF'
/opt/var/log/diversion.log {
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
    endscript
}
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/logrotate.d/diversion

cat > /opt/etc/logrotate.d/ethernet <<'EOF'
/opt/var/log/ethernet.log {
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
    endscript
}
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/logrotate.d/ethernet

cat > /opt/etc/logrotate.d/openvpn <<'EOF'
/opt/var/log/openvpn.log {
    monthly
    rotate 9
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
    endscript
}
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/logrotate.d/openvpn

cat > /opt/etc/logrotate.d/pixelserv <<'EOF'
/opt/var/log/pixelserv.log {
    rotate 9
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslog-ng
    endscript
}
EOF
chmod 600 /opt/etc/logrotate.d/pixelserv

then sh /jffs/scripts/logrotate.d-filters

to top it off you can use options LR and RS inside scribe to get things started

force up date uiscribe as i am not sure if you will see new logs present yet

After doing this my diversion.log section only shows this -
Jul 28 00:26:07 RT-AC68U-20E0 Diversion: restarted Dnsmasq to apply settings
Jul 28 00:26:14 RT-AC68U-20E0 Diversion: restarted Dnsmasq to apply settings

Something that might be of interest: after 6 years this bug with flex-direction has been fixed (Firefox is the only one lacking support ). It was broken when I played around with viewing logs so I had to use tables and a lot of horrible javascript.

Hi,
new to this plugins, just want to ask. I've lighttpd installed and i want to incorporated in uiscribe
understand there's some example in examples folder, but i cant find any step inside also the description of it (eg. what is "src" ref)
is there any step by step example that i need to do other than making the file in syslog.d folder?

thanks

Scribe is the script that installs syslog-ng to replace the built-in daemon. uiScribe is a script that installs the add on to display in the GUI the logs created by syslog-ng. syslog-ng.d is the folder that contains the configuration files for syslog-ng; scribe puts several examples of configuration files in the examples folder.

So start with the scribe thread instead, and get scribe and syslog-ng running. There you will find, for example, the src source. Then come over to uiScribe to display them in the GUI.

 

[Jack Yaz]

uiScribe is getting some love next

 

[Jack Yaz]

Is it possible to Clear logs with uiScribe?

Do any other users want this feature?

 

[ColDen]

Do any other users want this feature?

Yes

 

[Jack Yaz]

Yes

Would you want it to force a log rotate, or delete the existing log file contents? Would you want it to apply to only the log file(s) you have enabled for the WebUI, or all of them?

Hi Jack,

To delete the existing log file contents and only to the log file(s) I have enabled for the WebUI.

Thanks

 

[Jack Yaz]

v1.4.0 is now available
Changelog:

• NEW: Configure which logs to display from the WebUI
• NEW: Check for updates to uiScribe in the WebUI
• IMPROVED: WebUI will now only refresh logs that are "expanded". This provides a much more responsive experience
• CHANGED: uiScribe now waits for Entware and NTP to be available before starting

 

[Butterfly Bones]

Do any other users want this feature?

No. logrotate can be configured for each log as needed / wanted / desired without loosing history.

After updating, my page is broken. I uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times but no luck.

Unrelated but your qos looks in a bad way

Hm, it looks like the shared-jy resources are missing. Can you try option uf at the command line and see if it pulls them down please?
