Hi Siva,

Could you tell us what logs that you want to consolidate.If you are referring syslogs files or any system files the best will be to configure a scp thru cron to copy all logs from all system to a centralised log server.Ofcourse you need to used ssh keys.

thanks

hi siva,

just configure in /etc/syslog.conf, add line
*.info @ip_address_syslog_server

in syslog server, edit in /etc/syslog.conf, edit: *info /direktori_to_collect_syslog

so, u should make one filesystem to collect syslog, for example /data
At syslog server, edit /etc/syslog.conf => *info /data/LOG/syslog.log
