Community discussion is present here: http://community.pbspro.org/t/pp-838-support-for-logging-via-syslog-in-pbs/591

Objective

PBS currently has a facility for logging via syslog. We are reverse engineering to the EDD. We need to have the use cases, test scenarios and test cases (both manual and PTL) reviewed by the open source community.

Use Cases

1. As an admin, I should be able to set PBS logging via syslog for all daemons (including logs for jobs, reservations, hooks etc..).

2.  As an admin, I should be able to control log events (PBSEVENT_DEBUG, PBSEVENT_DEBUG 2) for of the PBS logging.

3.  As an admin, I should be able to set the logging via syslog for all nodes in the cluster

4.  As an admin/user, I should be able to set the logging via syslog for all servers in a failover enviroment.

5. As a admin I should be able to have logging into both local daemons and Syslog enabled together

6.  As an admin/user, I should be able to run tracejob for a specific job by having both local daemon logging and logging via syslog enabled together.

7.  As an admin/user, I should be able to read logs for more than a day  or until the syslog are rotated.

8.  As an admin/user, I should be able to differentiate log messages from each daemon.

9. As an admin/user, I should be able to set logging via syslog for only a particular daemon (Server, Mom, Sched or Comm).
