udp relays
by Ben Smee 15 Nov '01

15 Nov '01

heya, I have a number of different networks under my control and I am sure like many other people on this list, they are not all routable from one to the other. My problem is that I would like to have a central syslog server that all our machines log back to (yes I know there are other architectures I can use to get around this problem but for the moment I want to try to do it like this for some particular reasons). Given that there is no one network that can route to all others or visa versa, I am wondering what type of udp relays people in similar situations use. I should say that on each network there is in effect at least one machine that has visibility of another network, thus meaning you CAN get from one network to another so long as you authenticate to a socks/ firewall first. I have looked about for some good udp relays but I cant really find any. As far as I can tell syslog-ng doesnt support socks so I am looking for alternatives ... regards, -------------------- Benjamin Smee Technical Specialist Optus Business Operations (NAC) "YES" OPTUS ben.smee(a)optus.net.au Tel: +61-2-93420091 Fax: +61-2-93420998 Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves. -- Gandalf the White

Almost garbled messages

The messages started coming in like this when I upgraded to syslog-ng 1.5.12, but upgraded to 1.5.13 still with no success to fixing this. The characters after the second mention of hostname and before the third mentioned hostname is what this email is about. Has anyone else seen this?

heya, rolling syslog-ng to a number of servers here and I have come across a couple of problems. I have build packages for a number of different solaris versions and the following is NOT version specific. I know that ALL the packages I have build work on their respective versions, yet sometimes when I install it i get the following error: # ./syslog-ng -d io.c: Preparing fd 5 for reading io.c: connecting using fd 6 syslog-ng version 1.4.13 starting io.c: Preparing fd 6 for writing io.c: Preparing fd 7 for writing Virtual memory exhaustedAbort - core dumped The fact that it mostly works and then suddenly wont makes me think it is a library error or something similar. Not all boxes have been built the same way so it is entirely feasible that some machines have things installed that others dont. My question is what? :) I checked the basic core packages and couldnt easily see the culprit ...

Seeking suggestions on a secure central syslog-ng setup..
by Sean McNamara 12 Nov '01

12 Nov '01

Hello all, First of all, please excuse me if this is off-topic; but seeing as I'm looking for something which will interface/work with syslog-ng, I thought that this would be as good of a place as any to get a start. To move on... We're currently running two central syslog servers (specifically syslog-ng) on Solaris 8/Sparc, and are investigating methods of setting up a central location where these logs may be processed (i.e. searching, alert generation, etc.) and viewed via a web-enabled console of some sorts that, ideally offers some method for access control to define varying levels of access to log reports, raw data, etc. Though, that would be ideal, it's by no means _absolutely_ necessary. My current idea is as follows: to have a third server that acts as the 'processing/viewing' server which NFS (ala WVrpcbind for security) mounts the log directories on the remote logserver, and does the processing remotely, rather than on the already burdened logserver. I'm sure this is no amazing idea.. however, I'm just not sure I've reviewed all of my options as far as what would be doing the processing portion of the task. We have a large variety of logs maintained at these locations, amongst them, named(BIND), DHCP, PIX(firewall), IPFilters, RADIUS(Interlink Networks), ssh, inetd, authlog(i.e. login attempts/failures), kernel logs, etc., etc. so, yet another consideration in addition to all mentioned is for the software to have the ability to, at least somewhat be able to parse the logfile data in order to generate alerts, and in some cases (if there exists an 'access control' feature), allow for some of the logfile data to be 'sugar coated', that is- basically to simplify information from the raw logs to cater to less technical individuals, e.g. helpdesk staff, etc, who may have a need to view specific log data, but may not be able to (or have the will to) read the technical details of raw log files. I know I've specified a bit of a wishlist beyond just basic syslog log viewing/reporting, but I supposed I ought to aim high and see what comes out of it. I'm toying with the idea of writing such a system such as above, but, I don't know if I have the time to dedicate to it; so I'm hoping that at least something will come somewhere close. So, this is where I turn it over to you -- can anyone give me any examples of how you may have managed a situation like this? Or specifically of any software available to do as I described? Any comments, examples, or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, ..Sean R. McNamara.

Slow capturing syslog

Thank you to all. It is really the DNS problem here. Now, it is working fast.

I've captured around 2 million messages in the last 3 days on a linux loghost, so I don't think Linux is your problem. Post your config here, especially whether you're using DNS or not and we can help out. -- Nate Campi http://www.campin.net GnuPG key: 0xC17AEF79 Key fingerprint = BF12 722F 8799 E614 33CC FAB7 5A90 C464 C17A EF79 Microsoft Vaccine 2000 is configuring your immune system.

Slow capturing syslog
by Chee Chew 11 Nov '01

I tested with kiwi syslog generator and I found either syslog-ng or syslogd is putting the log into file destination very slow at fastest exactly 10sec per log. At the rest of the log is queue in buffer. If syslog-ng were to run in environment that has log input with consistently 1 log per second, this will not work even we set the buffer large. Also not real time. I believe this is something to do with the synchronisation of SOCK_STREAM socket because I am using linux. Do you know how to fine tune this. Regards
