binding to /dev/log kinda works, but I think there is some error involving message formats.

If I send messages with echo $RANDOM|logger (without any options), I have missing fields when I do circolog-tail.

If I use echo $RANDOM|logger --rfc5424, it works fine.

Debug should be done to determine:

  • where the error is (are we decoding a format as another format?)
  • if we can easily improve upon it

PS: of course you need to be sure there is nothing else on your /dev/log. On many systemd-based distro, this means

systemctl stop systemd-journal.service systemd-journal.socket systemd-journald-dev-log.socket
rm '/dev/log'
