* Package name : netconsole Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Benjamin Drung <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/profitbricks/netconsole * License : ISC Programming Lang: Bash Description : Dynamically configure Linux netconsole Netconsole is a Linux kernel module that sends all kernel log messages over the network to another computer. It was designed to be as instantaneous as possible, to enable the logging of even the most critical kernel bugs. It works from IRQ contexts as well, and does not enable interrupts while sending packets. Due to these unique needs, only IP networks, UDP packets and Ethernet devices are supported. This package contains a netconsole service that dynamically configures netconsole by configuring one or more hosts by their names or IP addresses. The initscripts package on CentOS 7 provides a /etc/init.d/netconsole initscript that can configure netconsole by just configuring SYSLOGADDR. The functionality is similar, but this package also provides also a systemd service and allows to specify multiple log hosts. Beside the CentOS script, I found no other tool doing this job. Therefore I published our inhouse package to get it into Debian. I am open to merge this script and service into a other packages if this package is considered to be too small. -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer 1&1 IONOS Cloud GmbH | Greifswalder Str. 207 | 10405 Berlin | Germany E-mail: [email protected] | Web: www.ionos.de Head Office: Berlin, Germany District Court Berlin Charlottenburg, Registration number: HRB 125506 B Executive Management: Christoph Steffens, Matthias Steinberg, Achim Weiss Member of United Internet
