Octopussy Internals

How Octopussy handles logs

  1. syslog-ng receives syslog messages and forward them to octo_dispatcher.
  2. octo_dispatcher receives syslog messages and sort them by Device.
  3. Logs are stored in the Device Incoming Logs Directory.
    (/DEFAULT_STORAGE_INCOMING/devicename/Incoming/YYYY/MM/DD/msg_HHhMM.log)
  4. one octo_parser by Device handle messages and sort them by Service.
You can change Default Storages Locations in Storages page and Device Storages page.
By default, these locations are /var/lib/octopussy/logs/.
