Details

log_server and log_sink are a remote logger solution to forward the Scorpion Linux logs to the VR9 Linux
on 3490, 5490, 5491 and 7490 models.

log_server listens to a range of internal IPv6 UDP ports on the wasp interfacee of the VR9 Linux which connects the Scorpion.
It writes all received data to a range of logs on the VR9 Linux, excerpt from a 7490 fw 7.29 ps on VR9:

5018 root      2464 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4201 /var/log/panic2
5021 root      2464 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4202 /var/log/debug2
5025 root      2464 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4210 /var/log/wland_hal_remoted.log
5029 root      1572 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4211 /var/log/hostapd.log
5031 root      2464 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4212 /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log
5033 root      1572 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4213 /var/log/acfg.trace
5035 root      2464 S<   log_server -d -t 0 -i wasp -w 20 4214 /var/log/crash2

The counterpart daemon runninng on the Scoripion Linux is log_sink which forwards the data to log_server.
There's also one instance of log_server running on Scoripion Linux which awaits remote commands from the VR9.
Excerpt from a 7490 fw 7.29 ps on Scorpion:

 110     1 root     S     1440  1.2   0  0.0 log_server -d -b 1 -t 0 -c -i eth0 -w 10 4220 /tmp/rcmd_vr9

See the log_sink article how this is used during supportdata creation on both sides.
rcmd_vr9 is a normal file which, if present, is interpreted by watch_supportdata_trigger and deleted after dispatching it.
It is recreated by log_server once a new command arrives.

Usage: log_server [OPTION...] Port output_file

log_server listens to a UDP port and writes data to a given file (IPv6only).
The log data will be held in a ring buffer, if 'readback' is enabled the
internal ring buffer is filled with the content of the provided file.
When no data is received for [timeout] seconds, the content of the ring buffer
will be written into the provided file.

  -b, --buffer=KB            log write buffer (128)
  -c, --clean                clean buffer after write
  -d, --daemon               start daemonized
  -i, --interface=intf       interface name
  -l, --listen-ip=IPv6       listen ip address
  -r, --readback             fill log buffer with the content of output_file
  -t, --write-timeout=sec    log write timeout (5)
  -v, --verbose              verbose
  -w, --watchdog-timeout=sec watchdog timeout (0)
  -?, --help                 Give this help list
      --usage                Give a short usage message
  -V, --version              Print program version 

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional
for any corresponding short options.
