Can anyone provide some sample configurations for Redhat 7.1 systems, both as a central log server and it's clients?
I'm about to roll out about 130 linux boxes pretty soon, all vpn clients with various other functions, and would like to maintain a central log repository. syslog-ng looks like my best bet (I'd rather have tcp than udp, just to avoid the possibility of lost logs in case of flaky lines). Unfortunately, I don't have the time for a lot of experimentation.
we implemented a neat system: it takes the logs from all the machines and the re-outputs them into a hostdirectory/hostname/red hat log file format so if a machine was named roma then we had: /var/log/hosts/roma messages daemon.log cron.log boot.log maillog spooler etc etc for each machine. this handles about 150 hosts you can look at that config here: http://www.dulug.duke.edu/~skvidal/syslog-ng/phy/syslog-ng.conf -sv
