You can do it many ways, one way (quick and easy): remote nodes <every ten minutes cron> log, bzip2 in directory "A" run rsyncd for directory "A" --- central node <every ten minutes +1 minute> <or just do it every 2 mins, etc..> run script: 1) rsync --bwlimit 9k -u get from remote node's "A" 2) bunzip2 files 3) cat file into /dev/log (or local platform's way of injecting into syslog) --------- http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 12:03:53 -0700 (PDT), LEROY ISAAC <lisaac01@yahoo.com> wrote:
I have a need to retrieve syslog data from various remote nodes, and the smallest network link to the remote nodes is 19K. The syslog traffic for the link cannot exceed 9K.
I plan to setup a configuration which generates new log files every 10 minutes. These files are then compressed, zipped, and transfered to a centralized loghost.
The files are then unzipped, uncompressed, and the data is inserted into the syslog-ng data stream on the central syslog-ng host.
Is there a script or utility which will accomplish this task? If not, then does any one have any suggestions on products which may accomplish this same task.
