Customizing puppet run log format

[Jay]

Hi Friends,

Is there any configuration file.. where I can add / remove log formats of puppet run?

I need timestamp in the log which is currently missing.

Thanks in Advance!

Regards,
Jay

Hi,

what platform are you running on? How are the logs stored?

The easiest way to get timestamps is by using syslog. It's quite trivial
to add the appropriate option to puppet.conf.

HTH,

Hi Felix,

Sorry for delay in responding!

Thanks, I am using red hat platform and logs are created as redirected output of console to a file on puppet run.

Once again thanks for your input, Could you please point out a sample to use syslog ?

Regards,

Jay

Hi,

sure. From puppet apply --help
"""
* --logdest:
Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log
file. Defaults to sending messages to the console.
"""

So you can either use --logdest=syslog or add logdest=syslog to the
appropriate sections of puppet.conf.

HTH,
Felix

Hi,

I'm using --logdest to direct the logs to an external file. Is there a way to force the timestamp in the logs to be in UTC? Currently the timestamp is in the timezone of the appliance.
Is there a way to specify the time format something like {"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXX","GMT"}?

Thanks,

Harish

Afaik there is no feature that allows you to do that easily.

If we are talking about the timestamp that the log adds for when the
item was logged then it may be possible to do something by writing a new
logdest.
