I created a dropwizard application that uses syslog to logging. I am using Mac OS version 10.10.3. My appenders in Configuration.yml file are as follows.
logging:
level: INFO
appenders:
- type: file
currentLogFilename: /var/log/myapp.log
threshold: INFO
archive: true
archivedLogFilenamePattern: /var/log/myapp-%d.log
archivedFileCount: 5
- type: syslog
host: localhost
port: 514
threshold: INFO
The file myapp.log is populated correctly. But when I do
sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log
I am not able to see the messages. I followed answer from How to start Syslogd server on Mac to accept remote logging messages? but still I was not able to see the messages. However if I do
sudo tcpdump -i lo0 host 127.0.0.1 and udp port 514
I am able see the packets. My syslog.conf looks like this
install.* @127.0.0.1:32376
What am I missing here?
