Central Syslog Server

It’s so easy if you want to have logs centrally. So you need to decide which server will be syslog server, and then do this:

1. On the server edit: /etc/sysconfig/syslog

Make the settings like:

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=”-m 0 -r”

2. On the client edit: /etc/syslog.conf

Add this line:

*.*                                @syslog_server_ip_address

Thats all, your clients will send logs to central location, and also if you have other default configuration, they will log locally.
