rsync - Oct 2005 - rsyncd: having each log file for each module

Hi,
 
     I am using rsyncd server. I have the configuration in 
/etc/rsyncd.conf. I have included each modules section for each client.I 
want to have the log files of all activity in separate files  for each 
client instead of in the global log file.Can sombody help me.


/etc/rsyncd.conf
============================
#### rsyncd.conf file ####
uid = backup
gid = backup
#pid file = /etc/rsyncd.pid
syslog facility = daemon
transfer logging = true
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
log file = /var/log/backuplog/test.log

###### Marketing Dept #####

[TEST]  #Module name could be any name
       path = /backup/desktopbackup/TEST
#       comment = Data backup of Linux Gavaskar
       secrets file =/etc/rsyncd.secrets
       uid = backup
       read only = no
       list = yes
       log format = %h %o %f %l %b
       log file = /var/log/backuplog/test1.log

====================================Info: All the rsync logs are getting logged
in
/var/log/backuplog/test.log, but not in /var/log/backuplog/test1.log. 
Can I get some help.

Thanks,
Muthu.

The rsyncd.conf manpage mentions that the "log file" setting is a
global
one, not a per-module one.  So, the only way to have rsync output its
log messages to separate files (without changing rsync) would be to
start multiple daemons (each listening on a separate port) and have
each one only support a single module.

However, it's pretty easy to separate the log messages for a single
module out of a log-file that contains all the messages.  There is now
a (brand new) perl script in the support directory that will output
the messages for any requested module:

    http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/support/logfilter

That might make it unnecessary to maintain separate log files.  If not,
you could use the script to split up the combo log-file into separate
files (one module at a time) or improve the script to output all the
modules into separate files in one pass.
