Hi,

Edit /etc/syslog.conf file and add

*.alert @other_host

Then you should see all the alert messages that were going to console now also go to the syslog.log of other_host.

This doesn't mean you get all the messages of the console into the syslog like initial startup messages, shutdown messages. There isn't a way to do it unless you physically connect the console port to the other server with proper cable and use kermit.

Is this appropriate to redirect to different server like the following.

*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice @server name

does it require to restart the syslogd.

Hi,

Nope u dont have to mention a target file. But you can mention a file in the target server's /etc/syslog.conf.

Node1

local1.notice @node2

In Node2

local1.notice /var/tmp/node1.messages

Again you have to send HUP signal to syslogd..

Thanks,

Sundar.
