Configure Bash Track Log for Linux

✪To configure Bash Track Log in Linux please follow the following steps

1. Create log format in bashrc file (By adding the below value to the end of file)

Ubuntu/Debian: /etc/bash.bashrc,  Centos/Redhat: /etc/bashrc

export PROMPT_COMMAND='RETRN_VAL=$?;logger -p local6.debug "$(whoami) [$$]: \

 $(history 1 | sed "s/^[ ]*[0-9]\+[ ]*//" ) [$RETRN_VAL]"'




2. Create log file path (Adding below value to file)

 vim /etc/rsyslog.d/bash.conf  

local6.* /var/log/bash_track.log

3.Create logrotate file (Adding below value to file)

 vim /etc/logrotate.d/bash

/var/log/bash_track.log {

        su root adm

        daily

        rotate 60

        compress

        delaycompress

        missingok

        notifempty

        create 0640 root root

    }




4.Restart rsyslog service

For Ubuntu/Debian

# /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
