Log file and command output archiving software
I have a fair few servers running either CentOS 4/5. I need to periodically collect critical files and transfer them to a central server, over ssh for auditing reasons.
In particular I'm thinking of files such as:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/yum.log
/etc/sudeors
/etc/sysconfig/iptables
Also, I would store and forward the result of certain commands:
chkconfig --list
cat /etc/redhat-release
pstree
nestat -anp
lshw
I've been looking for a solution on the web; but, cannot find any project that matches me need. I've heard and looked at logwatch, but, cannot find any documentation other than the official sites rather poor manual. What I've read of logwatch has led me to believe it won't be able to achieve my goal. Is there a product, preferably open-source that does this already?
