Raheel Hassan · 08-23-2010, 09:20 AM

Hi,

I am searching that how i can configure syslogs/rsyslog to receive third party tools or softwares logs. For example i have a program that generates logs like when it is started and logs about its services, alerts if there are any alarms etc. I want to forward these logs using syslogs/rsyslog. Is their any possibility how can i achieve that. I will be very grateful for any help.

Regards,
Raheel.

We would be very grateful, if you didn't post the same question more than once. You got replies in your OTHER THREAD, for this same question:

Syslog events/servers are well documented. It even has a man page, if you tried to look;
http://linux.die.net/man/3/syslog

that tells you how to write your C code to send events along.
