HELP - can u send LOG FILES to an external server?
If anyone can help....
Is there anyway that log files can be sent or saved to an external/remote server automatically in realtime or an frequently as possible, if not any suggestions would be great...thank you
It depends on the application. If the app uses syslog, then you can modify your syslog.conf to redirect certain messages to another system. If the app can only write to a local file, then you'll probably need an external utility to monitor the logfiles.
