  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Log chroot SFTP file transfers

Hi, I'm trying to log SFTP file transfers for a chrooted users.

My /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Code:
# override default of no subsystems
# Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server -f LOCAL7 -l INFO
##### I tried other options, but not works...
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server -l INFO
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server -f AUTH -l INFO

##### I tried for a specific user override, but not works ...
#Match User mydomain
#       ForceCommand internal-sftp -f LOCAL7 -l INFO

My /etc/rsyslog.d/60-sftp.conf:
Code:
$AddUnixListenSocket /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/dev/log

# Parse the data logged at level INFO and facility LOCAL7 into /var/log/sftp.log
LOCAL7.* /var/log/sftp.log

# Report logins and logoffs
:syslogtag,startswith,"sftp-server" /var/log/sftp.log

Restarted services...
Code:
service ssh restart; service rsyslog restart

I have a log socket in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/dev/:
Code:
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root    0 Apr  8 12:49 log

But both files (/var/log/sftp.log and /var/www/vhosts/mydomain/dev/log) are empty

What I'm missing?
 
Well, seems my config works (in part). The SFTP file transfers are logged, but on /var/log/syslog, not in /var/log/sftp.log.

I don't know why, but by now it's ok for me.
