I've installed busybox svlogd
Can I ask which features of the config file it supports, if any?
#ssize #
sets the maximum file size of current when svlogd should rotate
# the current log file to size bytes.
# Default is 1000000. If size is zero, svlogd doesn't rotate log
# files. You should set size to at least (2 * len).
#nnum #
sets the number of old log files svlogd should maintain to num.
# If svlogd sees more that num old log files in log after log file
# rotation, it deletes the oldest one.
# Default is 10. If num is zero, svlogd doesn't remove old log files.
#Nmin #
sets the minimum number of old log files svlogd should maintain # to
min.
# min must be less than num.
# If min is set, and svlogd cannot write to current because the
# filesystem is full,
# and it sees more than min old log files,
# it deletes the oldest one.
#ttimeout #
sets the maximum age of the current log file when svlogd should
# rotate the current log file to timeout seconds.
# If current is timeout seconds old, and is not empty, svlogd
# forces log file rotation.
#!processor #
tells svlogd to feed each recent log file through processor
# (see above) on log file rotation.
# By default log files are not processed.
#ua.b.c.d[:port]
# tells svlogd to transmit the first len characters of selected log
# messages to the IP address a.b.c.d, port number port.
# If port isn't set, the default port for syslog is used (514).
# len can be set through the -l option, see below.
# If svlogd has trouble sending udp packets,
# it writes error messages to the log directory.
# Attention: logging through udp is unreliable,
# and should be used in private networks only.
#Ua.b.c.d[:port]
# is the same as the u line above, but the log messages are no
# longer written to the log directory,
# but transmitted through udp only.
# Error messages from svlogd concerning sending udp packages still
# go to the log directory.
