How to set log destination to syslog?

[w1nda]

Hi folks,

I'm trying run exabpg 3.x with configuration format like:

process parsed-route-backend {
	run /home/ruissalo/exabgp/etc/exabgp/processes/file.py;
	encoder json;
}
neighbor 10.30.4.3 {
	local-address 10.30.4.2;
	local-as 65050;
	peer-as 65000;
	family bgpls { 
	           bgp-ls;
	}

	api {
		processes [ parsed-route-backend ];
		receive {
			parsed;
			update;
		}
	}  
}

Anyone can educate me on how can I set the log destination as syslog?

thanks in advance!

Hello, Version 3 is ancient, you could consider running a more recent version of the application. syslog is set using the environment variable (or the .env) configuration file. I never had to use the feature myself so I can’t tell you from the top of my head and I am currently not able to look at the code to refresh my memory. This should be explained when running —help Regards, Thomas
