[dpdk-users] Logging with syslog

[longtb5]

Hi,

I'm trying to improve the logging system for my application. From my
understanding, the default log_stream is fopencookie()'d to enable sending
logs to syslog as well. However, for my use case, logs should always be sent
to syslog, but not always written to stdout as it would clog up my command
line interface (I'm using rte_cmdline).

Is there a way to achieve this with available DPDK logging utilities via
some kind of configuration? Or must I manually create another log_stream
with fopencookie()?

Thanks and best regards,
-BL

Hi,

As it turns out, implementing a custom logstream with fopencookie() is
rather trivial. Sample code can be found online (google dpdk fopencookie)
and inside EAL source code as well.
