dlt.conf - DLT daemon configuration file
The DLT daemon is the central application which gathers logs and traces from different applications, stores them temporarily or permanently and transfers them to a DLT client application, which could run directly on the GENIVI system or more likely on some external tester device.
The configuration file dlt.conf allows to configure the different runtime behaviour of the dlt-daemon. It is loaded during startup of dlt-daemon.
Start daemon in debug mode, so that all internal debug information is printed out on the console.
Default: OffIf set to 1 DLT daemon is started in background as daemon. This option is only needed in System V init systems. In systemd based startup systems the daemon is started by spawning own process.
Default: 0If set to 1 DLT daemon sends each DLT message to the client with prepanding the serial header "DLS0x01".
Default: 0If set to 1 each context which is registered from an application in the DLT daemon generates a message to inform the DLT client about the new context.
Default: 1If set to 1 DLt daemon sends each second a DLT control message to the client with the current timestamp from the system.
Default: 0This value sets the ECU Id, which is sent with each DLT message.
Default: ECU1This value sets the size of the shared memory, which is used to exchange DLT messages between applications and daemon. This value is defined in bytes. If this value is changed the system must be rebooted to take effect.
Default: 100000This is the directory path, where the DLT daemon stores its runtime configuration. Runtime configuration includes stored log levels, trace status and changed logging mode.
Default: /tmpThe logging console for internal logging of dlt-daemon. 0 = log to stdout, 1 = log to syslog, 2 = log to file (see LoggingFilename)
Default: 0The internal log level, up to which logs are written. LOG_EMERG = 0, LOG_ALERT = 1, LOG_CRIT = 2, LOG_ERR = 3, LOG_WARNING = 4, LOG_NOTICE = 5, LOG_INFO = 6, LOG_DEBUG = 7
Default: 6If LoggingMode is set to 2 logs are written to the file path given here.
Default: /tmp/dlt.logSocket timeout in seconds for sending to clients.
Default: 4The minimum size of the Ringbuffer, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.
Default: 500000The max size of the Ringbuffer, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.
Default: 10000000The step size the Ringbuffer is increased, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.
Default: 500000Initial log-level that is sent when an application registers. DLT_LOG_OFF = 0, DLT_LOG_FATAL = 1, DLT_LOG_ERROR = 2, DLT_LOG_WARN = 3, DLT_LOG_INFO = 4, DLT_LOG_DEBUG = 5, DLT_LOG_VERBOSE = 6
Default: 4Initial trace-status that is sent when an application registers. DLT_TRACE_STATUS_OFF = 0, DLT_TRACE_STATUS_ON = 1
Default: 0Force log level and trace status of contexts to not exceed "ContextLogLevel" and "ContextTraceStatus". If set to 1 (ON) whenever a context registers or changes the log-level it has to be lower or equal to ContextLogLevel.
Default: 0Enable Gateway mode
Default: 0Read gateway configuration from another location
Default: /etc/dlt_gateway.confDLT daemon runs with e.g. User: genivi_dlt Group: genivi_dlt
DLT user applications run with different user and group than dlt-daemon but with supplimentory group: dlt_user_apps_group
/dlt FIFO will be created by dlt-daemon with User: genivi_dlt Group: dlt_user_apps_group Permission: 620
so that only dlt-daemon can read and only processes in dlt_user_apps_group can write.
/dltpipes will be created by dlt-daemon with User: genivi_dlt Group: genivi_dlt Permission: 3733 (i.e Sticky bit and SGID turned on)
/dltpipes/dlt FIFO will be created by dlt application (user lib) with User: Group: genivi_dlt (inherited from dltpipes/ due to SGID) Permission: 620
Thus DLT user applications (and also or attackers) can create the dlt FIFO (for communication from dlt-daemon to DLT user application) under /dltpipes/. Since sticky bit is set the applications who creates the FIFO can only rename/delete it.
Since SGID of /dltpipes is set the group of dlt FIFO will be genivi_dlt which enables dlt daemon to have write permission on all the dlt FIFO.
One dlt user application cannot access dlt FIFO created by other dlt user application(if they run with different user).
Owner group of daemon FIFO directory(Default: /tmp/dlt) (If not set, primary group of dlt-daemon process is used). Application should have write permission to this group for tracing into dlt. For this opton to work, dlt-daemon should have this group in it's supplementary group.
Owner group of daemon FIFO directory (If not set, primary group of dlt-daemon process is used) Application should have write permission to this group for tracing into dlt For this opton to work, dlt-daemon should have this group in it's Supplementary group
Default: group of dlt-daemon process (/tmp/dlt)Path to control socket.
Default: /tmp/dlt-ctrl.sockStore DLT messages to local directory, if not set offline Trace is off.
Default: /tmpThis value defines the max size of a offline trace file, if offline trace is enabled. This value is defined in bytes. If the files size of the current used log file is exceeded, a new log file is created.
Default: 1000000This value defines the max offline Trace memory size, if offline trace is enabled. This value is defined in bytes. If the overall offline trace size is excedded, the oldest log files are deleted, until a new trace file fits the overall offline trace max size.
Default: 4000000Filename timestamp based or index based. 1 = timestamp based, 0 = index based
Default: Function is disabledPrints each received DLT message from the application in ASCII to the local console. This option should only be anabled for debugging purpose.
Default: Function is disabledPrints each received DLT message from the application in ASCII to the local console. The payload is printed in Hex. This option should only be anabled for debugging purpose.
Default: Function is disabledPrints each received DLT message from the application in ASCII to the local console. Only the header is printed. This option should only be anabled for debugging purpose.
Default: Function is disabledIf this value is set to a serial device name, e.g. /dev/ttyS0, a serial port is used for logging to a client.
Default: Serial port for logging is disabledThe used serial baud rate, if serial loggin is enabled. The RS232DeviceName must be set to enable serial logging.
Default: 115200If serial logging is enabled, each received DLT message is checked to contain a serial header. If the DLT message contains no serial header, the message is ignored.
Default: Function is disabledEach received DLT message on a TCP connection is checked to contain a serial header. If the DLT message contains no serial header, the message is ignored.
Default: Function is disabledPeriodically send ECU version info. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
Default: Function is disabledAbsolute path to file storing version information - if disabled the DLT version will be send.
Default: Function is disabled.Periodically send timezone info. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
Default: Function is disabledMaximum devices to be used as offline logstorage devices. 0 = disabled, 1 .. DLT_OFFLINE_LOGSTORAGE_MAX_DEVICES
Default: 0 (Function is disabled)Path to store DLT offline log storage messages.
Default: offAppends timestamp in log file name. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
Default: 0Appends delimiter in log file name, only punctuation characters allowed.
Default: _Wrap around value for log file count in file name.
Default: UINT_MAXMaximal used memory for log storage cache in KB.
Default: 30000 KBEnable or disable UDP connection. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
The address on which daemon multicasts the log messages
The Multicase IP port. Default: 3491
