unimrcp-server logging - rotation OR syslog #109

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
To me the unimrcp server's log looks quite strange the way it is rotated.
Is there a documentation on how this is rotated and how to control it.

Also, is it possible to do logging into syslog?

I am logging it as an issue as I couldnt find any reference to tuning these 
parameters in the documentation.

While there is no documentation regarding the logs and the rotation mechanism, 
the source code may help a bit, I guess. I'd suggest to look at 
apt_log_file_dump() function, it consists of a few lines only.
http://code.google.com/p/unimrcp/source/browse/trunk/libs/apr-toolkit/src/apt_lo
g.c#556

The main idea is to split one big log file into N small ones. So, instead of 
dumping all the log entries to the storage, only current log file is 
dumped/saved. The idea originally came from one of the UniMRCP users and it 
makes sense to me. 

Anyway, if you have more questions, ideas or thoughts on how to improve the 
routine, please feel free to discuss them on the discussion group.

The biggest issue I have with the default settings is that it does a log 
rotation for every 8M. Ok I can live with that to an extend and it is somethng 
that I can change and recompile. The worst offender is MAX_LOG_FILE_COUNT which 
is OK as long as UniMRCP is not heavily used. As soon as it handles a few 
thousand TTS or others with debug ON, we loose the initial logs. Keeping logs 
is vital for debugging production issues.

I really think we should add syslog support into UniMRCP. Who doesnt have basic 
syslog on their systems these days, especially in production; unless there is a 
real reason to not to go down syslog route.

Sounds good. If you could enhance the UniMRCP logger to support syslog as well, 
I'd be certainly glad to apply your modifications.
