# NAME

**dlt-system.conf** - DLT system process configuration file

# DESCRIPTION

The DLT system logging process is the central application, which logs system information from the platform. It provides the features
filetransfer, syslog adapater, logging of any kind of files and
procfilesystem logger. The individual features can be enabled and
disabled in the configuration file.

The configuration file dlt-system.conf allows to configure the different runtime behaviour of dlt-system. The configuration file is loaded during startup of dlt-system.

dlt-system loads by default the configuration file  /etc/dlt-system.conf.
An alternative configuration file can be loaded with the option -c.

# GENERAL OPTIONS

## ApplicationId

The application Id used for the dlt-system process.

    Default: SYS

# SHELL OPTIONS

## ShellEnable

    Default: 0

# SYSLOG ADAPTER OPTIONS

## SyslogEnable

If this option is set to 1, the syslog adapter feature is enabled. SyslogPort needs to be configured too if Syslog is enabled.

    Default: 0

## SyslogContextId

This value defines context id of the syslog adapter.

    Default: SYSL

## SyslogPort

This value defines the UDP port opened for receiving log messages from syslog. Configuration for syslog to forward log to this port is necessary. Adding this config `` *.*    @localhost:47111 `` in config file of syslog (usually in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf) and restart the syslog service by command "sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service".

    Default: 47111

# SYSTEMD JOURNAL ADAPTER OPTIONS

## JournalEnable

Enable the Systemd Journal Adapter. This feature is only available, when dlt is compiled with the option "WITH_SYSTEMD_JOURNAL".

The user genivi must be added to one of the groups 'adm', 'wheel' or 'systemd-journal' to have access to all journal entries.

    Default: 0

## JournalContextId

The Context Id of the journal adapter.

    Default: JOUR

## JournalCurrentBoot

    Default: 1

## JournalFollow

Show only the last 10 entries and follow.

    Default: 0

## JournalMapLogLevels

Map journal log levels to DLT log levels.

Enable the Filetransfer feature. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled

    Default: 0

## FiletransferContextId

The Context Id of the filetransfer.

    Default: FILE

## FiletransferTimeStartup

Time in seconds after startup of dlt-system when first file is transfered.

    Default: 0

## FiletransferTimeoutBetweenLogs

Time in seconds to wait between two file transfer logs of a single file to DLT.

    Default: 10

## FiletransferDirectory

You can define multiple file transfer directories. Define the directory to watch, whether to compress the file with zlib and the zlib compression level. For parsing purposes, FiletransferCompressionLevel must be the last one of three values.

See FiletransferDirectory option for explanation.

    Default: 5

## LogFileMode

This value defines in which operation mode the file is logged. In mode 1 the file is only logged once when dlt-system is started. In mode 2 the file is logged regularly every time LogFileTimeDelay timer elapses. 0 = off, 1 = startup only, 2 = regular

## LogFileTimeDelay

This value is used in mode 3 and defines the number of seconds, after which the defined file is logged.

## LogFileContextId

This value defines the context id, which is used for logging the file.

# LOG PROCESSES OPTIONS

## LogProcessesEnable

Enable the logging of processes. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled

## LogProcessesContextId

This value defines the context id, which is used for logging processes files.
