Is there a way to connect to a syslog-ng on a machine via a client to receive the events? ...as opposed to just having the syslog-ng pushing the event to another machine all the time.
is there a persistent network connection between these two computers?
Yes!
Basically I want only to connect to those machines running syslog-ng in certain situations. Like
ssh root@machine tail -f /var/log/messages
...without the need for a ssh account
what do you think are the advantages are to avoiding ssh?
Deployment and security related. Just no option to give ssh access to dozens of developers just to read the logs. Those machines are as locked up as possible. cheers -- Torsten
