<div>The syslog server has to listen on the
ipaddress:port combination.<br>
The solaris hosts need to syslog to the new ipaddress:port
combination.<br>
<br>
Since I don't know how you are processing your log lines in your
syslog-ng configuration it is difficult to provide a lot of
guidance, but here are a couple of examples.<br>
<br>
---- option #1<br>
Using a completely different source. - you must fill in the IP
addresses and port numbers<br>
<br>
source s_regular_syslog {<br>
tcp(localip(regularIP) port(regularPort)
max_connections(5000) log_fetch_limit(20000) log_iw_size(1000000)
tags("regular_syslog") );<br>
};<br>
<br>
source s_solaris_syslog {<br>
tcp(localip(solarisIP) port(solarisPort)
max_connections(5000) log_fetch_limit(20000) log_iw_size(1000000)
tags("solaris_syslog") );<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
log { source(s_regular_syslog);
destination(d_regular_destination); };<br>
log { source(s_solaris_syslog); destination(d_solaris_syslog); };<br>
<br>
<br>
---- option #2<br>
Using a tagged source. - you must fill in the IP addresses and
port numbers<br>
<br>
source s_all_syslog {<br>
tcp(localip(regularIP) port(regularPort)
max_connections(5000) log_fetch_limit(20000) log_iw_size(1000000)
tags("regular_syslog") );<br>
tcp(localip(solarisIP) port(solarisPort)
max_connections(5000) log_fetch_limit(20000) log_iw_size(1000000)
tags("solaris_syslog") );<br>
};<br>
<br>
filter f_solaris { tags("solaris_syslog"); };<br>
<br>
log {<br>
source(s_all_syslog)<br>
log { filter(f_solaris); destination(d_solaris_syslog);
flags(final); };<br>
log { destination(d_regular_destination); };<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope that gives you the basics of what is needed.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>You could use a second interface on the syslog
servers and configure the solaris servers to use this
alternate IP address.<br>
You could also use a different port.<br>
Then you could tag the source with "solaris" and then
use the tag filtering to separate those message out of
the mix.<br>

Just my $0.02
