[galaxy-dev] Using rsyslog for logging from Galaxy

Hi all,

For our production server we are using rsyslog for centralised logging, http://www.rsyslog.com/

Galaxy is using "import logging" which can output to rsyslog, using SysLogHandler rather than StreamHandler or FileHandler. Based on grep'ing the source code Galaxy doesn't support this yet. I could probably add it but it isn't clear to me where this would be done... functions configure_logging() in lib/galaxy/config.py and in lib/galaxy/webapps/community/config.py look like strong possibilities but both allow for some global_conf_parser override (and I'm not sure what that does).

Has anyone looked at modifying this area before, or could offer some tips?

Thanks,

Peter
