Hi *,
I would like for system logs like the ones produced by the kernel, iptable (generally in /var/log/syslog), as well as anyother applications running in a Linux-based router to be processed by an ng-syslog client and just popped as UDP packets
I looked into http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html and couldn't see any particular info on this specifically and I also search http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=syslog-ng for 'stealth' and didn't get any hits (a search on 'UDP' would dump millions of hits on you ;-))
How could you do something like that?
For the kernel messages you could use the netconsole kernel module to send any kernel messages directly via udp to a specified client as soon as the network is available, no need for running a local syslogd/klogd. Check kernel/Documentation/networking/Netconsole.txt for details. Jens
Thanks Albretch
