add_definitions would set SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION for all targets
in directory and sub-directories. However, another future target might
want the opposite, so define it as local as possible to journaldlogger.cpp.
To make this work, we must take journaldlogger.cpp out of the unity
build, because all files from a unity of share compiler definitions.
Similar to the other loggers, add a predefined object JournaldLogger in
features-available that will log messages >= warning, with default facility
LOG_USER. It is disabled by default, and can be enabled with:
$ sudo icing2 feature enable journald
As proposed in #8857, this adds a Logger subclass that writes structured
log messages via journald's native protocol by calling sd_journal_sendv.
The feature therefore depends on the systemd library. sd_journal_sendv is
available since the early days (systemd v38), so a version check is
probably superflous.
We add the following fields to each record:
- MESSAGE: The log message
- PRIORITY (aka severity): Numeric severity as in RFC5424 section 6.2.1
- SYSLOG_FACILITY: Numeric facility as in RFC5424 section 6.2.1
- SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER: If provided, use value from configuration.
Else use systemd's default behaior, which is to determine the field
by using libc's program_invocation_short_name, resulting in "icinga2".
- ICINGA2_FACILITY: Facility as in Log::Log(..., String facility, ...),
e.g. "ApiListener"
- some more fields are added automatically by systemd
Fields are stored indexed, so we can do fast queries for certain field
values. Example:
$ journalctl -t icinga2 ICINGA2_FACILITY=ApiListener -n 5
Syslog compatiblity is ratained because good old tag, severity and facility
is stored along, and systemd can forward to syslog daemons.
See also https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_NATIVE_PROTOCOL/.
The upcoming JournaldLogger will need the same syslog validation and
conversion logic, so factor it out from SyslogLogger to make it
reusable.
Also explicitely include syslog.h, which defines the syslog()
function.
IdoPgsqlConnection::Escape() internally uses PQescapeStringConn() and its
documentation states the following:
Furthermore, PQescapeStringConn does not generate the single quotes that must
surround PostgreSQL string literals; they should be provided in the SQL
command that the result is inserted into.
So it's intended to use the result in 'string' literals, not in E'string'
literals as Icinga did. This results in problems as the behavior of
PQescapeStringConn() depends on how the current connection will interpret
regular single quoted literals, namely on the value of the
standard_conforming_strings variable.
The E'string' literals were initially introduced in
ac6f3f8acf to fix#1206 where PostgreSQL started
warning about escape sequences in string literals not supported by the SQL
standard (but by PostgreSQL depending on the value of
standard_conforming_strings). In the meantime the oldest PostgreSQL version on
any platform supported by Icinga increased to 9.2 (CentOS 7) and starting with
9.1, standard_conforming_strings is enabled by default, so there will be no
warnings about escape sequences (as the warning is only issued if the escape
sequence is actually interpreted by PostgreSQL).
* Update 09-object-types.md
Because in this document it is not clear which units are allowed for DB Cleanup, I asked in the Community for it: https://community.icinga.com/t/db-ido-cleanup-possible-units/3854/2. We came to the conclusion that it would help if there is a notice which units are possible/allowed for this. For better finding I wrote also a link to the language reference.
* Update 09-object-types.md
changed to the proposed "language reference"
* Update 09-object-types.md
Done. Sorry overlooked
* Update 09-object-types.md
accidentally inserted return undone . Hope now fits 😃
* Update 09-object-types.md
Requested Changes don
* Update 09-object-types.md
changed link to duration-literals
