The following has been tested with Ubuntu 10.04 and should work with any distribution which include rsyslog and the imfile module.

  • 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
