Syslog Server Recommendations

Yomaoni · 02-28-2006, 01:40 PM

I have been given the duty of setting up a syslog server that will gather all the logs from 3 linux server and 70+ cisco switches. My boss wants to be able to log into a web interface and view logs for different devices on the network. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks

Ben

just use syslog-ng and wrap a simple php page around it... don't try to have syslog do all of this, or you'll soon lose the functionality of the underlying syslog.

and 10 seconds on google shows up a project called php-syslog-ng. might want to check that out.

Thanks for the reply. I saw that but wanted to know if anyone had seen anything that they thought might be better. I will try it out and see. Thanks again
