syslog problem
 

Hi to all

Kindly help,,actually i m using redhat5 and this is syslog server where i get my all device log file in /var/log/messagge...and i want to create separate log file for each device....so it can be through syslog

Device log?? As i know in redhat /var/log/message file store info log messages.

Can you elaborate more?

If you want to store every clients log in separate dir/file you can use syslog-ng or rsyslog server on log server.

syslog server issue
 

Thanks to all for replying

can this possible into this syslog server becoz its not possible to install any package in my organization. only i can work on syslog server.


NOTE:I Want that each device log file should be on separate file on servers only throw syslog server.becoz i dont have rights to install any other package.

This facility is not available in syslog. so you have to install rsyslog or syslog-ng on syslog server (client can work with standard syslog ) to store logs in separate files.

yes you can do it in REDHAT 5

on server side you should enables -r option in /etc/sysconfig/syslog under

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"

on client side you just have to redirect the logs to the log server

e.g
/etc/syslog.conf

*.* @Serverip

all the logs will go to /var/log/messages on the server

you can also create seperate file for specific log types

mail.info /var/log/email
cron.info /var/log/crontab


Hope this will help you
