MediaWiki UDP logging
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
All of the MediaWiki error logs should now be configured to be sent to udp://10.0.5.8:8420/[log_name]. On the relevant host, udp2log is installed (from udplog in svn). It runs in a root screen, with no command-line parameters. On the MediaWiki side, logging is configured via the global $wmgUdp2logDest.
All logs are sent to /srv/mw-log/[log_name].log on mwlog1002. They are rotated daily to /srv/mw-log/archive with 180 days kept, as per the defacto privacy policy.
Configuration files are as follows:
/etc/udp2log
flush pipe 1 python /usr/local/bin/demux.py flush file 1 /home/wikipedia/logs/everything.log
/etc/logrotate.d/mw-udp2log
/home/wikipedia/logs/*.log {

/usr/bin/killall -HUP udp2log
endscript
}
/usr/local/bin/demux.py
Copied from svn with the base directory changed to /home/wikipedia/logs.
