NAME

       ha_logd - Logging Daemon for High-Availability Linux

SYNOPSIS

       ha_logd [-s] [-k] [-d] [-h] [-c file]

DESCRIPTION

       ha_logd is a logging daemon for Linux-HA. It receives messages from a local domain socket
       /var/lib/heartbeat/log_daemon, and writes them to appropriate files and syslog if enabled.
       The reason for utilizing this logging daemon is that occasionally Heartbeat suffers from
       disk I/O delays. By sending log messages to a logging daemon, heartbeat can avoid such I/O
       delays.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -s
           Show ha_logd status (either running or stopped)

       -k
           Stop (kill) the daemon

       -d
           Daemonize (without this option, ha_logd will run in the foreground)

       -h
           Show a brief usage message

       -c file
           Configuration file. You may configure a regular log file, debug log file, log
           facility, and entity. For details, see the example ha_logd.cf file found in the
           documentation.
