initial commit and import This is the initial import of all blog posts and a pretty workable theme. More work will follow. 2015-10-25 01:41:33 +02:00			+++

			When you want to start with cfengine, it is not exactly obvious how some stuff works. To make
			it easier for others, I will write about some stuff I find out in the process.
			For the start, here is the first thing I found out. By default cfengine logs to files
			in the work directory. This can get a bit ugly, when the agent is running every 5min.
			As I use cf-execd, I added the option
			[executorfacility](https://cfengine.com/docs/3.5/reference-components-cfexecd.html#executorfacility)
			to the exed section.
			body executor control {
			executorfacility => "LOG_LOCAL7";
			}
			After that a restart of execd will result in logs appearing through syslog.
