[syslog-ng] Configuring syslog-ng on a computer with multiple ethernet interfaces

[Fekete, Róbert]

Hi,

if you want a source to listen only on a specific interface, use the ip()
parameter of the source to set the IP address (
https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/reference-source-syslog-chapter.html#idp3603696
). If the interface has multiple IP addresses, then you'll need multiple
sources.

If you want a destination to send logs towards a specific interface, then
AFAIK you'll have to set the localip() option of the destination (
https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/reference-destination-syslog-chapter.html#idp8578992
).

Regards,

Robert
