Indeed! Console.app will read the database, and has a UI for
constructing searches.
Will there be a way for a unsophisticated user to increase the
level of
stuff that is kept? (eg: help desk wants debug info) If so, will the
increased level persist after a system reboot?
The filter that determines which priority levels are saved in the
database can be set in the startup plist, making it persist across
reboots, or it can be set dynamically using:
sudo syslog -c syslogd -7
where "-7" means everything from level 0 (emergency) to 7 (debug).
If you want to modify the plist, add "-c", and "7" as strings in the
ProgramArguments array. The plist may be edited with your favorite
plist editor, or even changed with:
sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd
ProgramArguments '(/usr/sbin/syslogd, -c, 7)'
