rtpengine : enable log to local2 instead of daemon doesn't work

[Youssef Boujraf]

Dear

I have configured my rsyslog.conf with :

local2.* -/var/log/sipsecure/rtpengine.log

local3.* -/var/log/sipsecure/rtpengine_cdr.log

rtpengine.conf :

log-level = 7 # log-stderr = false log-facility = local2 # log-facility-cdr = local3 # log-facility-rtcp = local2

But rtpengine continue to record log into daemon.log even I have restarted syslog and daemon-reload

Any idea where I am wrong.

Best Regards,

How are you starting rtpengine? Via systemd? If so, the systemd unit explicitly enables logging to stderr (overriding the config file) as systemd is in charge of handling the logging. So in this case, either override the systemd unit, or tell systemd to send the logging elsewhere.

Cheers

Dear

Yes it is with systemd

Then do I need to force

log-stderr = false to stop to get log to daemon ?

Best Regards

You need to go through systemd.

Use `sudo systemctl edit rtpengine` to create or edit an override file. Use a [Service] section and either override the `ExecStart` line (removing the -E option which is what forces logging to stderr), or better yet tell systemd directly to use a different syslog facility:

[Service]
SyslogFacility=local2

You can find more details in the systemd docs, e.g. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html

Dear,

kamailio:/etc$ sudo systemctl edit rtpengine
Editing "/etc/systemd/system/rtpengine-daemon.service.d/override.conf" canceled: temporary file is empty.

But the path doesn't exist ?

Dear,

thank you so much.

Finally I found the way. it was missing --full to access to the config

    sudo systemctl edit rtpengine --full

then I updated the config as you mentioned in the previous mails.

[Unit]
Description=NGCP RTP/media Proxy Daemon
After=network-online.target
After=remote-fs.target
Requires=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=notify
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/rtpengine-daemon
PIDFile=/run/rtpengine-daemon.pid
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/rtpengine-iptables-setup start
# ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rtpengine -f -E --no-log-timestamps --pidfile /run/rtpengine-daemon.pid --config-file /etc/rtp>
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rtpengine -f --no-log-timestamps --pidfile /run/rtpengine-daemon.pid --config-file /etc/rtpengin>
ExecStopPost=/usr/sbin/rtpengine-iptables-setup stop
SyslogFacility=local2

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Restarted the rtpengine-daemon service and now my /var/log/rtpengine.log is collecting all the rtpengine log and /var/log/daemon.log is not receiving the log from rtpengine anymore.

Best Regards,
