NAME

       socklog-conf - sets up a socklog(8) service.

SYNOPSIS

       socklog-conf unix|inet|klog|ucspi-tcp acct logacct
       socklog-conf notify acct grp

DESCRIPTION

       socklog-conf  creates  /etc/sv  if  necessary and a subdirectory that runs the unix, inet,
       ucspi-tcp or notify service (see below for each service).  Except for the notify  service,
       socklog-conf also creates a log directory with subdirectories.

       acct, logacct and grp must not contain any special characters.

UNIX SERVICE

       socklog-conf unix acct logacct

       Running  socklog-conf  with  the  1st  argument  unix,  socklog-conf  creates  the service
       directory /etc/sv/socklog-unix and the log directory /var/log/socklog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct  and  to  listen
       for syslog messages on /dev/log.

       It  also  creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog.  The logs are
       owned by logacct.  The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs  under  the  uid  and  gid  of
       logacct.

       You  can  add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8)
       program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-unix

INET SERVICE

       socklog-conf inet acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf  with  the  1st  argument  inet,  socklog-conf  creates  the  service
       directory /etc/sv/socklog-inet and the log directory /var/log/socklog-inet.

       socklog-conf  arranges  for  socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to listen
       for syslog messages on the UDP socket 0.0.0.0:514.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-inet.  The  logs
       are  owned  by logacct.  The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid of
       logacct.

       You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through  the  update-service(8)
       program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-inet

KLOG SERVICE

       socklog-conf klog acct logacct

       Running  socklog-conf  with  the  1st  argument  klog,  socklog-conf  creates  the service
       directory /etc/sv/socklog-klog and the log directory /var/log/socklog-klog.

       socklog-conf arranges for socklog(8) to run under the uid and gid  of  acct  and  to  read
       kernel messages from /proc/kmsg on Linux, or /dev/socklog-klog on BSD.

       It  also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-klog.  The logs
       are owned by logacct.  The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and  gid  of
       logacct.

       You  can  add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8)
       program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-klog

UCSPI-TCP SERVICE

       socklog-conf ucspi-tcp acct logacct

       Running socklog-conf with the 1st argument ucspi-tcp,  socklog-conf  creates  the  service
       directory /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp and the log directory /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.

       socklog-conf arranges for tcpsvd(1) to run socklog(8) under the uid and gid of acct and to
       listen on the TCP socket 0.0.0.0:10116.

       It also creates automatically rotated log directories in /var/log/socklog-ucspi-tcp.   The
       logs are owned by logacct.  The corresponding svlogd(8) process runs under the uid and gid
       of logacct.

       You can add the service to system-wide service supervision through  the  update-service(8)
       program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-ucspi-tcp

NOTIFY SERVICE

       socklog-conf notify acct grp

       Running  socklog-conf  with  the  1st  argument  notify,  socklog-conf creates the service
       directory /etc/sv/socklog-notify.

       socklog-conf arranges for uncat(1) to run under the uid and gid of acct and to  listen  on
       the  named  pipe /var/log/socklog/.notify.  The named pipe will have mode 0620, the uid of
       acct and the gid of grp.

       All uids running a log service that is configured to push log events to the socklog-notify
       service must be member of the group grp.

       You  can  add the service to system-wide service supervision through the update-service(8)
       program:

       update-service --add /etc/sv/socklog-notify
