- Create the following file with contents as below:
/etc/rsyslog.d/10-xbmc.conf
Note: Text in bold will need to be adapted to value which are relevant to your system.
# $ModLoad imfile # # /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log $InputFileName /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log $InputFileTag tag_xbmc_log: $InputFileStateFile xbmc_log $InputFileSeverity debug $InputFileFacility local3 $InputRunFileMonitor # # check for new lines every 10 seconds $InputFilePollingInterval 10 # # send the log to a remote host: (optional) local3.debug @<remote_host>
- restart rsyslog:
sudo restart rsyslog
