Redirect a bash script's output and error to syslog
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# The pattern `exec > $X 2>&1` does two things: the last bit redirects standard
# error to go to standard output, and the first bit sends standard output to the
# file $X. Here our $X is the process substitution `>( $process )` which takes
# the standard input of $process and presents it as a file handle. Putting
# these two together, we have both our standard out and our standard error
# going to the standard input of $process. Our $process here first runs tee,
# which sends its standard input to both standard out and to the file listed.
# We then pipe our standard out into the logger command, which sends it to syslog.

Monitoring & Alerting

Amanda Sopkin (amsopkin at- gmail.com)

#1 Alert on Symptoms, not causes

  • causes may not actually effect users
  • e.g. disk full is a cause of the app being down, not a symptom; you do need to fix it but because of the user impact, not because disks inherently need to be empty
