Remote syslog question router to freebsd
Hi all,
I am trying to get my snapgear router to log to a Freebsd box to centralise my log files. I have been able to get this to work, but the router logs end up in the /var/log/messages.log file on the BSD box. I would like to separate the router logs to another file ie /var/log/router.log, but i can't work out how to do this in my syslog.conf file ......... alas this is where i am getting a bit stuck. If anyone could shed some light on this that would be great Cheers

"man syslogd.conf" is your friend...
Code:
+myhostname ...(contents of old syslog.conf)... +router *.* /var/log/router.log hth, M.

Thanks M .....
That worked a treat ...... !! I did have a little problem using the -a flag with syslogd. When uses i was not getting anything logged from my router, i used it without and it worked. Will now just look at trying to secure it a little. Thanks again.

FreeBSD Remote Logging (router -> syslogd)
Dear Lupus (or M.Hirsch if you've the time),
I am having the same difficulty with remote logging from a NetGear RT314. I have tried several different approaches, including the -a option from the syslogd manpage. My syslog.conf now holds the +hostname, but still is not writing to the file (file privs 666). I was unable to glean the exact form that the hostname must follow. I have a simple BIND setup resolving for my private network, so I just used the hostnames. Can you tell me what combination of settings worked for you?

Is anyone still around that was able to get this type of remote logging to work? Maybe under another flavor of Unix?

Hello Steven!
As I told you via PM already, I don't run such a setup currently. But to "complete" this thread, I'll setup a test environment. Ok, here we go: My server: FreeBSD 4.8-Release-p20 "enterprise.home" My workstation: Debian Sarge "voyager.home" 1. Server: We edit /etc/syslog.conf. We add before the very first line: Code:
*.* @voyager.home Then we restart syslogd: # killall -HUP syslogd 2. Client: Here we have to configure two things: a) The syslog daemon must accept messages from the network (a startup parameter). Edit /etc/init.d/sysklogd: Code:
# Options for start/restart the daemons # For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r" # SYSLOGD="" We change it as told to: SYSLOGD="-r" b) The messages shall be written to /var/log/enterprise We edit /etc/syslog.conf and add this to the end: Code:
+enterprise *.* /var/log/enterprise And then we restart the daemon: /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart Quote:
Have fun!  (If anybody cares: A German translation is here on my site: http://www.vrdevelopers.de/blog/117/40/s.html) M. Last edited by M.Hirsch : June 16th, 2004 at 07:05 AM.
