-<h1>Using php-syslog-ng with rsyslog</h1>
- <P><small><i>Written by
- <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/en/people/rainer-gerhards.php">Rainer
- Gerhards</a> (2005-08-04)</i></small></P>
-<h2>Abstract</h2>
-<p><i><b>In this paper, I describe how to use
-<a href="http://www.vermeer.org/projects/php-syslog-ng">php-syslog-ng</a> with
-<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/">rsyslogd</a>. </b>&nbsp;Php-syslog-ng is a
-popular web interface to syslog data. Its name stem from the fact that it
-usually picks up its data from a database created by
-<a href="http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/">syslog-ng</a> and some
-helper scripts. However, there is nothing syslog-ng specific in the database.
-With rsyslogd's high customizability, it is easy to write to a syslog-ng like
-schema. I will tell you how to do this, enabling you to use php-syslog-ng as a
-front-end for rsyslogd - or save the hassle with syslog-ng database
-configuration and simply go ahead and use rsyslogd instead.</i></p>
-<h2>Overall System Setup</h2>
-<p>The setup is pretty straightforward. Basically, php-syslog-ng's interface to
-the syslogd is the database. We use the schema that php-syslog-ng expects and
-make rsyslogd write to it in its format. Because of this, php-syslog-ng does not
-even know there is no syslog-ng present.</p>
-<h2>Setting up the system</h2>
-<p>For php-syslog-ng, you can follow its usual setup instructions. Just skip any
-steps refering to configure syslog-ng. Make sure you create the database schema
-in <a href="http://www.mysql.com/">MySQL</a>. As of this writing, the expected schema can be created via this script:</p>
-<blockquote>
- <code>CREATE DATABASE syslog<br>
- !<br>
- USE syslog<br>
- !<br>
- CREATE TABLE logs (<br>
- host varchar(32) default NULL,<br>
- facility varchar(10) default NULL,<br>
- priority varchar(10) default NULL,<br>
- level varchar(10) default NULL,<br>
- tag varchar(10) default NULL,<br>
- date date default NULL,<br>
- time time default NULL,<br>
- program varchar(15) default NULL,<br>
- msg text,<br>
- seq int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,<br>
- PRIMARY KEY (seq),<br>
- KEY host (host),<br>
- KEY seq (seq),<br>
- KEY program (program),<br>
- KEY time (time),<br>
- KEY date (date),<br>
- KEY priority (priority),<br>
- KEY facility (facility)<br>
- ) TYPE=MyISAM;</code>
-</blockquote>
-<p>Please note that at the time you are reading this paper, the schema might have changed.
-Check for any differences. As we customize rsyslogd to the schema, it is vital
-to have the correct one. If this paper is outdated,
-<a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">let me know</a> so that I can fix it.</p>
-<p>Once this schema is created, we simply instruct rsyslogd to store received
-data in it. I wont go into too much detail here. If you are interested in some
-more details, you might find my paper &quot;<a href="rsyslog_mysql.html">Writing
-syslog messages to MySQL</a>&quot; worth reading. For this article, we simply modify
-<a href="rsyslog_conf.html">rsyslog.conf </a>so that it writes to the database.
-That is easy. Just these two lines are needed:</p>
-<blockquote>
- <code><font color="green">$template syslog-ng,&quot;insert into logs(host, facility, priority, tag, date,
- time, msg) values ('%HOSTNAME%', %syslogfacility%, %syslogpriority%,
- %syslogtag%',&nbsp; '%timereported:::date-mysql%', '%timereported:::date-mysql%',
- '%msg%')&quot;, SQL</font> <br>
- <font color="red">*.*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&gt;mysql-server,syslog,user,pass;syslog-ng</font>
- </code>
-</blockquote>
-<p>These are just <b>two</b> lines. I have color-coded them so that you see what
-belongs together (the colors have no other meaning). The green line is the
-actual SQL statement being used to take care of the syslog-ng schema. Rsyslogd
-allows you to fully control the statement sent to the database. This allows you
-to write to any database format, including your homegrown one (if you so desire).
-Please note that there is a small inefficiency in our current usage: the
- <code><font color="green">'%timereported:::date-mysql%'</font></code>&nbsp;
-property is used for both the time and the date (if you wonder about what all
-these funny characters mean, see the <a href="property_replacer.html">rsyslogd
-property replacer manual</a>) . We could have extracted just the date and time
-parts of the respective properties. However, this is more complicated and also
-adds processing time to rsyslogd's processing (substrings must be extracted). So we take a full mysql-formatted timestamp and supply it to MySQL. The sql engine in turn
-discards the unneeded part. It works pretty well. As of my understanding, the
-inefficiency of discarding the unneeded part in MySQL is lower than the
-effciency gain from using the full timestamp in rsyslogd. So it is most probably
-the best solution.</p>
-<p>Please note that rsyslogd knows two different timestamp properties: one is
-timereported, used here. It is the timestamp from the message itself. Sometimes
-that is a good choice, in other cases not. It depends on your environment. The other one is the timegenerated
-property. This is the time when rsyslogd received the message. For obvious
-reasons, that timestamp is consistent, even when your devices are in multiple
-time zones or their clocks are off. However, it is not &quot;the real thing&quot;. It's
-your choice which one you prefer. If you prefer timegenerated ... simply use it
-;)</p>
-<p>The line in red tells rsyslogd which messages to log and where to store it.
-The &quot;*.*&quot; selects all messages. You can use standard syslog selector line filters here if
-you do not like to see everything in your database. The &quot;&gt;&quot; tells
-rsyslogd that a MySQL connection
-must be established. Then, &quot;mysql-server&quot; is the name or IP address of the
-server machine, &quot;syslog&quot; is the database name (default from the schema) and &quot;user&quot;
-and &quot;pass&quot; are the logon credentials. Use a user with low privileges, insert into the
-logs table is sufficient. &quot;syslog-ng&quot; is the template name and tells rsyslogd to
-use the SQL statement shown above.</p>
-<p>Once you have made the changes, all you need to do is reload (or HUP)
-rsyslogd. Then, you should see syslog messages flow into your database - and
-show up in php-syslog-ng.</p>
-<h2>Conclusion</h2>
-<P>With minumal effort, you can use php-syslog-ng together with rsyslogd. For
-those unfamiliar with syslog-ng, this configuration is probably easier to set up
-then switching to syslog-ng. For existing rsyslogd users, php-syslog-ng might be a nice
-add-on to their logging infrastructure.</P>
-<P>Please note that the <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/en/">MonitorWare family</a> (to which rsyslog belongs) also
-offers a web-interface: <a href="http://www.phplogcon.org/">phpLogCon</a>. At the time of this writing, phpLogCon's code
-is by far not as clean as I would like it to be. Also the user-interface is
-definitely not as intutive as pp-syslog-ng. From a functionality point of view,
-however, I think it already is a bit ahead. So you might
-consider using it. I have set up a <a href="http://demo.rsyslog.com/">demo server</a>.,
-You can have a peek at it
-without installing anything.</P>
