nginx_syslog_patch in upstream?

[rngadam]

I was wondering; will this patch make it upstream eventually?

What is preventing including this in the main nginx?

Seems rather useful!

You can see the reason here: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,225811,225822#msg-225822

Reading that thread, it sounds like FUD, no? Using rsyslogd, whether it is up or not, you can write to /dev/log. The only way to block the write is to suspend the rsyslogd thread... Plus, why couldn't this be made into a ./configure option and let users choose whether they want it or not?

Anyway, I'll be testing nginx + syslog patch + rsyslogd. If the results are positive I'll ping the mailing list and ask them to reconsider.

Thanks. If you want to have a try, we have supported syslog in our nginx fork: http://tengine.taobao.org/index.html . We have implemented syslog protocol internally which don't block the socket at all.

syslog is included in nginx plus (per http://nginx.com/products/)

I'll be annoying on the official tracking bug again: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/95

as soon as it lets me log in again.

Could you try tengine(http://tengine.taobao.org/document/http_log.html)? It supports syslog natively. I'm now one of developer of tengine.

If be happy to! We're mostly using nginx for passenger. Does it support passenger out of the box?
