Disable local syslog

Development
1

I am planning to run my vyos vm from an esxi host running on an sd card. I’d like to limit disk writing as much as possible, which would include possibly completely disabling local log writing. In its place, I’d have vyos remote syslog to a server with spinning disks.

Is this is a feature that would be interesting to others and would be not so complicated to implement?

Journalctl is being used so you can probably look around in there to find out how easy/hard it would be to get this as a global system option through VyOS config.

Something like this would be prefered:

  • syslog on/off
  • local log on/off
  • console logging on/off
  • ramlog on/off (when off the local log will write to local storage and if on then a ringbuffer of 10.000 lines (configurable) in the RAM will be used)

The local log option could be on/off/ram.

Ahh you are right. The monitor log command output looks exactly the same as journalctl -f
