</div></div>I'm having some trouble understading what you're after. Do you want to<br>
simply transfer files from remote systems to a central place and keep a<br>
similar filesystem hierarchy on the central location as well? For such a<br>
purpose syslog isn't the preferred way as it isn't a generic purpose<br>
transport so use something else like rsync.<br>
<br>
There are ways to manipulate messages on the originating side (for<br>
example by adding tags to the syslog-ng source definitions) and<br>
encapsulating the extra information into the message payload you'll be<br>
able to extract the information on the remote side - but I'm not sure it<br>
worths the effort.<br>
