Hi Stefan,


mythtv routes all logging stuff through the mythlogserver now. I also
had to change my syslog-ng (not rsyslog) configuration. I don't know if
mythbuntu uses syslog, syslog-ng or rsyslog and the mythtv wiki only
provides infos for rsyslog. 

In the /etc/syslog-ng.conf file I added
under destinations:

Hi Stefan,


mythtv routes all logging stuff through the mythlogserver now. I also
had to change my syslog-ng (not rsyslog) configuration. I don't know if
mythbuntu uses syslog, syslog-ng or rsyslog and the mythtv wiki only
provides infos for rsyslog. 

In the /etc/syslog-ng.conf file I added
the following lines below. This puts the logging info from the frontend,
backend, ... into a separate logfile: 

_destination mythbackend {
file("/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log"); };_
_destination mythfrontend {
file("/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log"); };_
_destination
mythfilldatabase { file("/var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase.log");
};_
_destination mythcommflag {
file("/var/log/mythtv/mythcommflag.log"); };_
_destination
mythpreviewgen { file("/var/log/mythtv/mythpreviewgen.log");
};_
_destination mythmetadatalookup {
file("/var/log/mythtv/mythmetadatalookup.log"); };_
_destination
mythlogserver { file("/var/log/mythtv/mythlogserver.log"); };_ 

_filter
f_mythbackend { facility("local7") and match("mythbackend"
value("MESSAGE")); };_
_filter f_mythfrontend { facility("local7") and
match("mythfrontend" value("MESSAGE")); };_
_filter f_mythcommflag {
facility("local7") and match("mythcommflag" value("MESSAGE"));
};_
_filter f_mythpreviewgen { facility("local7") and
match("mythpreviewgen" value("MESSAGE")); };_
_filter
f_mythmetadatalookup { facility("local7") and match("mythmetadatalookup"
value("MESSAGE")); };_
_filter f_mythfilldatabase { facility("local7")
and match("mythfilldatabase" value("MESSAGE")); };_
_filter
f_mythlogserver { facility("local7") and match("mythlogserver"
value("MESSAGE")); };_ 

_log { source(src); filter(f_mythbackend);
destination(mythbackend); };_
_log { source(src);
filter(f_mythfrontend); destination(mythfrontend); };_
_log {
source(src); filter(f_mythfilldatabase); destination(mythfilldatabase);
};_
_log { source(src); filter(f_mythcommflag);
destination(mythcommflag); };_
_log { source(src);
filter(f_mythpreviewgen); destination(mythpreviewgen); };_
_log {
source(src); filter(f_mythmetadatalookup);
destination(mythmetadatalookup); };_
_log { source(src);
filter(f_mythlogserver); destination(mythlogserver); };_

Then you just
need to restart the syslog-ng daemon and start the backend with
"mythbackend --syslog local7" and the frontend "mythfrontend --syslog
local7" and you should see stuff in the logs. 

Maybe this can be added
to the wiki if it helps.
