@syncer, @c-po /opt/vyatta/etc/logrotate/global is generated as well (logrotate for syslog files), where should I place the new one just under /etc/logrotate.d? It's going to be generated via the cli config, so an image update wouldn't do anything bad.
Also, I'm going to created different config files, rather than 1 global one. That way, we could later drop in database logging support and the such. As far as I have seen, you can currently only log to a remote host.

Yup, that's what I think too.
vyatta did place there 2 files for logrotation already:
/etc/logrotate.d/vyatta-config-logs
/etc/logrotate.d/vyatta-ipsec-logs
but:
/opt/vyatta/etc/logrotate/global
I was thinking to rename global to vyos-logrotate or vyos-syslogrotate or something like that, to make sure I don't interfere with any debian based packages aka:
(debian squueze, my desktop):
dpkg -S /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
rsyslog: /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog
That should avoid then headaches when 1.3 is being done.
Do you guys have a mailing list or anyhing where dev stuff is being discussed?

If anyone wants to view the progress, here is the link to the devel version.

Now I found out the mystery from logrotate, vyatta put the logrotate files into persistent storage since they are triggered by rsyslog itself. I have them currently moved to /etc/logroate.d since they are configured with a size. But this might be prone to a race condition. @c-po I think we need some kind of persistent storage for vyos as well if we want to decom /opt/vyatta at one point. Would be also good for T741.
I'm going to be busy with testing and work this week and I know you are busy as well, so no rush on an answer.

Syslog rewrite is now almost done, I currently testing everything, so I think if all goes well, I open a pull request next week for it. I'm still not sure how I should handle 'set system syslog user...', the help text states that it logs to the logged in user, but I didn't find anything implemented in the old perl script.

Hi Guys, @dmbaturin
during my test I found the follwing:
- vyatta-cfg-system creates /etc/rsyslog.d/vyatta-log.conf
- I removed the syslog stuff from vyatta-cfg-system, rebuild the package and updated, /etc/rsyslog.d/vyatta-log.conf was generated so it's not being removed.
Shall I take care of the removal in my vyos-1x script or in vyatta-cfg-system?

merged by Daniil. Please assign bugs to me, if any come up. I tested everything multiple times carefully, but you never know, so I take full responsibility :0.
