hai,

Use the logrotate to rotate the syslog or messages. Or write your own script and simulate it with cron job.

copy all the machines syslog messages to master machine with rcp or ftp (remote file trasnsfer ) calls.

rcp /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log /tmp/system_$(hostname)_$(date "+%d_%m_%Y_%X")

Put this in cron to simulate.

put something like this in your /etc/syslog.conf

*.info,*.debug,mail.none,lpr.none /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

*.info,*.debug,mail.none,lpr.none @

in /etc/syslog.conf
add

*.info;mail.none @yourcollectingsystrem
*.alert @yourcollectingsystrem
*.emerg @yourcollectingsystrem
kern @yourcollectingsystrem

Hi,

Edit /etc/syslogd.conf and configure it as you want e.g.


*.emerg @myhp

If you add this in syslogd.conf file then all emergency level messages will be forwarded to the SyslogD daemon of MYHP server. There it depends where it is going to store that data depending again on the syslogd configuration of that server myhp.

After configuration is complete ask syslogd to reread the file:

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`

Hope that helps.
