How does USE_SYSLOG=true work?

[logopk]

Hi,

can anyone explain how USE_SYSLOG: true (and EXTENDED_LOGGING: true) inside a docker container works? Where can I find the logs and how could I relay this to my rsyslog forwarder?

/var/log is empty (besides apt and dpkg).

Thank you!

Peter

Not sure if setting this is necessary as docker has its own syslog logging driver.

I agree, but the sample shows a docker command: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Logging#logging-to-syslog

and I assume there are more log entries that are not on the docker log...

From https://www.reddit.com/r/vaultwarden/comments/1i4ipjq/what_am_i_missing_on_going_to_syslog/ I see that it is necessary to specify the LOG_FILE. After this I see the file. However not much more than what's in the docker log

services:
  vaultwarden:
    image: vaultwarden/server:latest
    environment:
      - USE_SYSLOG=true
      - EXTENDED_LOGGING=true
    volumes:
      - ./vw-data:/data
      - /dev/log:/dev/log

This one did the job for me. Note the last volumes entry.
