Syslog

[Account Not Used]

I can't remember how I did it along time ago but there is a way to have the syslog and various other logs to also output to what we call a syslog server. This server could be NT and or Unix and would be on the same network. Does anyone out there know how to do this? Your help would be appreciated.

Hi,

If you will man syslogd, it will explain how to modify /etc/syslog.conf to do just what you want.

To send all messages to your syslog server put the following in the /etc/syslog.conf file and stop and restart syslogd.

*.info @syslog_server_name

If you don't want all messages you can pick a level (alert, emerg, etc.) and only have those forwarded to the server.

*.alert @syslog_server_name

*.emerg @syslog_server_name
