<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If all of the solaris hosts log to a
different port or IP address, then there is no need to place hosts
into the syslog configuration file.<br>
Every log message sent to the special IP/port is assumed to be
from a solaris host. Then you just store them into a destination
of your choosing.<br>

<div>Right now, we add a solaris server everytime
we spin one,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>its like this,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>filter f_solaris {</div>
<div> host('x.x.x.x') or host('x.x.x.2')
or</div>
<div> host('x.x.x.3') or host('x.x.x.4')
or</div>
</div>
<div> host('hostname1) or (hostname2)</div>
<div> }</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So everytime we spin a server we just go and
add it manually to the config file, either with
its host name or the ip.</div>
<div>I want to be able to automate with filter
functions and or regex so that I don't have to
add manually to the config file on the server
everytime.</div>
<div>There is a similar config for linux hosts too<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope I am clear. Appreciate you taking your
time out for this.</div>

<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>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>
