syslogd: how to redirect incoming logs

psychobyte · 02-21-2004, 10:56 PM

Hi,

If I set up my syslogd server to accept incoming logs, how can I specify what actions to take when logs come in from a specific host?

like if PC1 sends me some mail logs then sends me some kernel logs,
how can I hand each individual type log seperately?

Thanks,

syslog doesn't provide that kind of capability
as far as I know. Have a look at syslog-ng
