Hi Bazsi I'm Zulazman Zakaria from Telekom Malaysia. I'm working on additional syslog daemon You have shown us the replacement of default syslog daemon which is called syslog-ng. I have succesfully installed the syslog-ng Solaris 7 server, but I have some question to ask. I'm a new person which using syslog-ng. 1) Can we use current syslog daemon simultaneously with syslog-ng? I mean the current syslog daemon still can log up to 8 machines and syslog-ng shall log up the other 5 machines?
the only problem I see is the port used to receive messages will collide. (UDP 514) It can work however if your system is multihomed or you can assign several IP aliases to the same machine
2) If no, do we have to log all the syslog including default syslog using syslog-ng? 3) How to write the script (syslog-ng) in order to get the all the machine's logs? 4) How can we specify the all machines in syslog-ng script? I mean on which column we shall specify the machines whether using the facility or IP address because we have aound 14 machines. For your information, the machines we are using is a Broadband Access Server.
I don't understant these questions. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
