How to configure rsyslog?

Question

linux

It is necessary to move the logging of the program to separate directories. Set up rotate so that every time the service is restarted, a new log file is created. I have already moved the log to a separate directory. But how to set up something to exclude
"node" and the log is not written to /var/log/syslog ? Thanks in advance ))

Answer 1

I use the following config file /etc/rsyslog.d/99-node.conf :
:programname, startswith, "node" -/var/log/node/node.log
& ~
But in the /etc/rsyslog.d directory there is the default file, which stores the configuration for writing to syslog, auth, kernel and others. This config is loaded first and therefore it writes everything to syslog.
Whatever writes to syslog, you need to specify this configuration in the master file /etc/rsyslog.conf before writing
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf .
