Hello Pallagi,
Thank you for the prompt response, very appreciated. Im running syslog at the client side and syslog-ng at the server side.
Ok, I've tested it with this combination
Currently I have setup both and Im getting the following prefix into the log file on my syslog-ng server (this log is generated from apache on my client server),
"logger: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - - [26/Nov/2009:11:11:36 -0600] \"GET... "
The issue is how can I configure syslog-ng to remove the "logger:" prefix when logging. Basically I just want a clean log same way like if I had an access_log file configured on apache on the client.
I think my solution remove it.
original log in access.log:
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Nov/2009:19:40:14 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 56 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; hu-HU; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15"
log on the server without $MSG template:
Nov 26 20:02:25 127.0.0.1 logger[5645]: 127.0.0.1 - - [26/Nov/2009:20:02:25 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 56 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; hu-HU; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15"
and the log on server with $MSG template (it was my solution):
127.0.0.1 - - [26/Nov/2009:20:19:47 +0100] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 56 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; hu-HU; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102815 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.15"
There is no more "logger" prefix. Your config file also seems to be correct (but you have duplicated udp sources).
Didn't you forget to restart your syslog-ng? I don't really have more idea why it doesn't work for you.
Thank you in advance.

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.
