Hi guys,

I have installed Rsyslog to collect the log from my network device and it will stored the log into the text file.

Besides the syslog, i get the snmp traps details also.

Currently my plan is to save the syslog into mysql database instead of text file so i would like to solve the snmp trap message log into syslog first.

Can anyone advise how to solve this ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Below shows sample syslog log file.

rsyslog server is receiving the logs from your network device so you supposed to exclude sending snmptraps to the rsyslog server. Tell your network device what are the logs need to be send out to syslog server.

Hi Kirukan,

Syslog was using port 514 and has been config to save the data in location A.
Snmptrap was using port 162 and has been config to save the data in location B.

I have manually put in the filter in syslog.

However, i was still curious why the snmptrap will will goes to location A.

Thanks anyway.
