would it be possible to let bird6 log with the bird6 prefix to syslog instead of bird? This would make debugging a little easier, as we run bird and bird6 on the same machine, and it's not too easy to determine which bird is logging what. I guess this would be trivial to accomplish without looking at the sources.
I do
log "/var/log/bird/bird.log" all;
in bird.conf and
log "/var/log/bird/bird6.log" all;
in bird6.conf. Thus I have everything in one file. Imho much neater than using syslog. Of course ymmv
I like syslog, because I'd like to parse all that stuff and provide the logged information to our users (I can attach a pipe to syslog-ng), I'd also like to log it remotely to our centralized syslog-servers. So yes, I do prefer syslog.
