Hi,
After being less than impressed with the stability of rsyslog, I just discovered syslog-ng and it looks really impressive but a bit overwhelming!
I have a simple configuration with my existing rsyslog set up where it's performing normal system syslog responsibilities but also tagging other log files and then forwarding them to a centralized log server. The examples I've seen for syslog-ng are making my head swim so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction on how to do the same with syslog-ng.
Hi, if you mean that you want to send the contents of logfiles to a central server then you have to create file sources and add them to the log path that sends the messages to the logserver.
