Syslog-ng on the Linux server, any syslog client on the other hosts. What you've described should work just fine. Also, take a look at the Syslog-NG FAQ at: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html Its got some good suggestions for setup. Lastly, take a peek at Logmuncher for monitoring your logs if you haven't chosen a monitoring tool yet. Russell On Fri, Aug 27, 2004 at 12:46:40PM -0500, Rhugga wrote:
If I simply want to have the syslogd daemons on my Solaris boxes send their logs to a remote loghost running syslog-ng, I don't need syslog-ng on the solaris boxes correct?
So on my solaris box, /etc/syslog.conf would contain an entry like this:
auth.info @loghost
Loghost of course would be defined in /etc/hosts and contain the IP address of the Linux system running syslog-ng.
Will this config work? Some of the documentation confused me implying that syslog-ng is also needed on the client side. I will be using a standard TCP listener with syslog-ng on the loghost machine, likely using port 514.
Thanks, rhugga
