5.1.2.3 channel statement

Channels represent methods for recording logging information. Each channel has a unique name, and any categories which specify that name in a channel statement will use that channel.

radiusd can write logging information to files or send it to syslog. The file statement sends the channel's output to the named file (see section 2. Naming Conventions). The syslog statement sends the channel's output to syslog with the specified facility and severity.

Channel options modify the data flowing through the channel:

print-pid

Add the process ID of the process generating the logging information.

print-cons

Also send the logging information to the system console.

print-category

Add the category name to the logging information.

print-priority

print-level

Add the priority name to the logging information.

print-milliseconds

Print timestamp with milliseconds.

prefix-hook

Declares the name of Rewrite function used as logging prefix hook for that channel (see section 5.1.2.1 Logging hooks). This overrides any global prefix hook.

suffix-hook

Declares the name of Rewrite function used as logging suffix hook for that channel (see section 5.1.2.1 Logging hooks). This overrides any global suffix hook.
