The following has been tested with Ubuntu 10.04 but should work with any distribution which include rsyslog and the imfile module.

Note: Test in bold will need to be adapted to value which are relevant to your system.

  • Create the following file:

/etc/rsyslog.d/10-xbmc.conf

 #
 $ModLoad imfile
 #
 # /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
 $InputFileName /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
 $InputFileTag tag_xbmc_log:
 $InputFileStateFile xbmc_log
 $InputFileSeverity debug
 $InputFileFacility local3
 $InputRunFileMonitor
 #
 # check for new lines every 10 seconds
 $InputFilePollingInterval 10
 #
 # send the log to a remote host: (optional)
 local3.debug @<remote_host>
  • restart rsyslog:
 sudo restart rsyslog
