Hi Jose,

Hello,

I've been using classic syslog for centralizing apache access logs from one server to a remote syslog server, the thing is syslog adds some nasty tags before the lines in the access logs and I cant get them off, ie:

"Nov 25 21:25:37 server1 logger:"

I would like to know if syslog-ng has the option to filter this kind of stuff, I just want to have the logs sent to the syslog server exactly like I was saving them in a local access.log file.
I don't understand you completely where you use syslog or syslog-ng on these hosts

If you use syslog-ng then yes the syslog-ng can do it. There is an example of the possible solutions if both sides are syslog-ng:

client side:

source s_file{file("/var/log/apache2/access.log"
flags(no-parse)
);};

destination d_tcp{tcp("10.30.0.32" port(666)
template("$MSG\n")
);};

log {
source(s_file);
destination(d_tcp);
};


server side:
source s_tcp{tcp(port(666)
flags(no-parse)
);};

destination d_test { file("/var/log/test.log"
template("$MSG\n")
); };

log {
source (s_tcp);
destination(d_test);
};


if you use syslogd on client side and syslog-ng on the server side you need to use a config like this (but I am not sure in this case):

source s_tcp{udp(port(514));};

destination d_test { file("/var/log/test.log"
template("$MSG\n")
); };

log {
source (s_tcp);
destination(d_test);
};


Thanks in advance.
