-## Syslog Management Protocols
-
-Let's look at the programs filling in things on our /var/log/ directory.
-
-* rsyslog (common)
-
-* syslog (old)
-
-* syslog-ng (lots of content-based filtering)
-
-* klogd (kernel-focussed)
-
-# `rsyslog`
-
-The config rests in /etc/rsyslog.conf, which then references /etc/rsyslog.d/.
-
-# Systemd
-This thing makes its own logs with journald, and the journal's own logging system writes to /var/log/journal/ directory, which is then filled with nonsense.
-
-You can obtain nonsense in systemd's own format by entering:
-
-journalctl -e
-
-This thing generates so much nonsense it can crash your system, but can at least be checked with:
-
-> journalctl --disk-usage
-
-... in case you can't remember the `du` command.
-
-You can limit the nonsense by editing the /etc/systemd/journald.conf file, and finding `#SystemMaxFileSize=`
-
-# Logger
-
-You can log things at any time with the logger:
-
-> logger Server is being a dick!
-
-Put things into a specific log with `-p`.  They can enter into, e.g., lpr (printer) log file with a priority of "critical", with:
-
-> logger -p lpr.crit Help!
-
-Logfiles rotate around and eventually get deleted.  Rotation means they get compressed.
-
-Edit the config in /etc/logrotate.conf.
-
-A few apps have their own special log rotation rules, kept in /etc/logrotate.d/.
-
-The major variables to change are `weekly`, which compresses log files weekly, and `rotate 4`, which keeps 4 weeks worth of backlogs before deletion.
-
-# Force Log Rotation
-
-> sudo systemctl kill --kill-who=main --signal=SIGUSR2 systemd-journald.service
-
-or just
-
-> sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald.service

-# Making a Swap File
-
-> sudo mkdir -v /var/cache/swap
-
-> cd /var/cache/swap
-
-> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1K count=4M
-
-This creates a swapfile of (1k x 4M) 4 Gigs.
-Change 4M to XM for an XGig swap.
-
-> sudo chmod 600 swapfile
-
-> sudo mkswap swapfile
-
-> sudo swapon swapfile
-
-Test it's working with top
-
-> top -bn1 | grep -i swap
-
-or:
-
-> echo "/var/cache/swap/swapfile none swap sw 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
-
-Test it'll work at boot with:
-
-> sudo swapoff swapfile
-
-> sudo swapon -va
-
-# Partition Swaps
-
-Put this in /etc/fstab:
-
-`UUID=blah-blah none swap sw 0 0`
-
-Then test it works with:
-
-> sudo swapon -va
-
-Test other partitions in fstab with:
-
-> sudo mount -a
