[syslog-ng] Save ALL logs

5 Jul 2011

      Hello again, I just installed my new log server and I am configuring to save ALL logs on the log server.

On the client side I have rsyslog configured this way:

$ cat /etc/rsyslog.conf
$ModLoad imuxsock
$ModLoad imklog
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
$RepeatedMsgReduction on
$KLogPath /proc/kmsg
$WorkDirectory /rsyslog/work
$ActionQueueType LinkedList
$ActionQueueFileName srvrfwd1
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1
$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on
*.*       @@logserver

On the server side I have syslog-ng:

source logs_externs{
        tcp();
};

destination rdf_all {
file("/var/log/extern/${HOST}/${YEAR}/${MONTH}/");
};

log {
        source(logs_externs);
        destination(rdf_all);
};

I want to get all the logs on the log servers and then archive each month.

This way it doesn't work, how I must configure it?

Thanks for all your help.

Kind regards.
