LoggingVM

Have anybody created a LoggingVM?

Which Saltstack modules and packages did you use?

How did you network this to dom0?

How to use the Qubes Admin Policies/API despite the lack of documentation - WIP

Note: this page is intended to collect all related information to what the individual qubes policies mean Hopefully it’ll be a wiki that everyone can add to. Please contribute any information that you may have on the definitions of the policies. This includes the following major sections: How to find the names of all the available policies, and how to figure out what those policies do (or at least attempt to) How to find which policies are needed to use a particular qubes command or qubes w…

This would help a little.

WORKING: Guide for creating a logging qube (I.E. sys-log) - WIP

NOTE: While this guide is still a work in progress, it is now useful enough that many people should be able to use it to get logging working locally on their system After a 7 year discussion on logging, a Qubes pull request was recently created for new patches to allow the creation of a logging qube. Both DisposableVM’s and AppVM’s currently discard all their logs when they are shut down, so this was desperately needed. (note: verify that that situation hasn’t changed for AppVM’s) This threa…

Just create a script in Domain-0 that gets added to the libxl hook.

This allows for retrieval of the log files if that is what you are after…

OR…

Just put it in the rc.local that is executed on boot…

Just make sure on first boot, the folder is moved and then things are done.

cat /var/log/kmsg >> /rw/config/log/kmsg
rm -rf /var/log
ln -s /rw/config/log /var/log

and done… You now have persistent logging in a guest that is NOT a Disposable VM.

Other than that, I have multiple logging guests…

What sort of logging are you after?

If you want one guest that has logs from all other guests then I can alter one of my scripts to enable things to happen for it. I tend to play around with scripts to do many things when I need things done. So I may have something that can work or be altered to work to do most anything you may need.
