Hi,

i'm new in this forum and i dont know if this is the correct thread to post my question, you forgive in advance.

I need to know the meaning of the fields in the log file: /var/log/syslog

here a line of this log:

Jan 13 17:48:32 analoger-HP rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" X-pid="666" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'.


Thanks.
