We are running Splunk for monitoring our infrastructure, and currently the easiest way of monitoring our linux servers (including DA) is to forward all syslog events to the Splunk server. Unfortunately the exim provided with DA has been compiled with syslog disabled, which means we have 0 email-related events being logged (apart from vm-pop3d).
I am going to migrate our servers to the custombuild script very soon, and recompile every service that is running an old version, so I thought now would be a good time to fix the syslog issue.
Has anyone done this before on DA using the custombuild script? Can you give me some pointers as to where you made the changes to allow it to happen? I would prefer to use the DA scripts to do the install rather than compile from source.
