logging to 2 syslog servers

markseger · 03-10-2011, 09:35 AM

I'm guessing its possible but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. I've tried playing with entries at the top of my syslog.conf file like:

*.* @172.20.10.1 # 1 server, works file
*.* @172.20.10.1,172.20.20.11 # doesn't work
*.* @172.20.10.1 172.20.20.11 # nor this
*.* @172.20.10.1,@172.20.20.11 # nor this
*.* @172.20.10.1 @172.20.20.11 # nor this

Hi,

Have you tried:

Code:

*.* @172.20.10.1
*.* @172.20.20.11

All the rules in the configuration file are checked, it does not stop checking once a match is found.

Hope this helps.

now I feel silly, that's the one thing I didn't think of. I guess I just figured it'd stop at the first match.
works like a champ now.

Hi,

Sometimes it does stop at the first match (/etc/hosts file being an example).

Anyway, glad to see you got it working. Can you put up the [SOLVED} tag ?(first post -> Thread Tools).
