DLT.CONF(5)

NAME

dlt.conf - DLT daemon configuration file

DESCRIPTION

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.

GENERAL OPTIONS

  Verbose

Start daemon in debug mode, so that all internal debug information is printed out on the console.

    Default: Off

  Daemonize

If 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: 0

  SendSerialHeader

If set to 1 DLT daemon sends each DLT message to the client with prepanding the serial header “DLS0x01”.

    Default: 0

  SendContextRegistration

If 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: 1

  SendMessageTime

If set to 1 DLt daemon sends each second a DLT control message to the client with the current timestamp from the system.

    Default: 0

  ECUId

This value sets the ECU Id, which is sent with each DLT message.

    Default: ECU1

  SharedMemorySize

This 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: 100000

  PersistanceStoragePath

This 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: /tmp

  LoggingMode

The logging console for internal logging of dlt-daemon. 0 = log to stdout, 1 = log to syslog, 2 = log to file (see LoggingFilename), 3 = log to stderr

    Default: 0

  LoggingLevel

The 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: 6

  LoggingFilename

If LoggingMode is set to 2 logs are written to the file path given here.

    Default: /tmp/dlt.log

  TimeOutOnSend

Socket timeout in seconds for sending to clients.

    Default: 4

  RingbufferMinSize

The minimum size of the Ringbuffer, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.

    Default: 500000

  RingbufferMaxSize

The max size of the Ringbuffer, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.

    Default: 10000000

  RingbufferStepSize

The step size the Ringbuffer is increased, used for storing temporary DLT messages, until client is connected.

    Default: 500000

  ContextLogLevel

Initial 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: 4

  ContextTraceStatus

Initial trace-status that is sent when an application registers. DLT_TRACE_STATUS_OFF = 0, DLT_TRACE_STATUS_ON = 1

    Default: 0

  ForceContextLogLevelAndTraceStatus

Force 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: 0

  InjectionMode

If set to 0, the injection mode (see here) is disabled.

    Default: 1

GATEWAY CONFIGURATION

  GatewayMode

Enable Gateway mode

    Default: 0

  GatewayConfigFile

Read gateway configuration from another location

    Default: /etc/dlt_gateway.conf

Permission configuration

DLT 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.

  DaemonFifoGroup

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)

  OfflineTraceDirectory

  OfflineTraceFileSize

This 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: 1000000

  OfflineTraceMaxSize

This 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: 4000000
