2. Can syslog-ng work similarly to tail -f logging to the central server?
Yes. syslog-ng 2.0 can do this, however it currently does not record the current file position accross restarts.
As of today, I've commited the final bits, so that tailing files is actually usable. Configure it something like this: source s_tail { file("/var/log/apache/access.log" follow_freq(1) flags(no-parse)); }; This means that syslog-ng * reads the access.log file (starting with the first line), * checks every 1 second to see if there are new records * notices when access.log gets renamed and a new file is put to its place (e.g. logrotate) * remember the last file position accross restarts You need tomorrow's snapshot for this to work. -- Bazsi
