Logging for UAT and Production Servers

If logging through syslog is implemented, you need to configure rsyslog.

nano /etc/rsyslog.d/30-ambition.conf

add this to the file

# /etc/rsyslog.d/30-ambition.conf
local7.*                                             /var/log/ambition.log
& ~  # This stops local7.* from going anywhere else.

restart rsyslog

sudo service rsyslog restart

view the log

tail -n 25 -f /var/log/ambition.log
