I'm having a problem with how the output is happening. Its filling up my messages file with repetitive information.
Should my /etc/rsyslog.d/forwardFile.conf look like this? $ModLoad imfile # File 1 $InputFileName /var/log/mysqld.log $InputFileTag mysqld: $InputFileStateFile stat-file1 $InputFileSeverity notice $InputFileFacility local0 $InputRunFileMonitor (no /etc/rsyslog.d/forwardRules.conf was set) And to have this forwarded from a remote server to a central server. Should there be a /etc/rsyslog.d/forwardRule.conf? I'm not quite sure how to put the forwarding rule in rsyslog.conf If $programname == 'mysqld' then @forward.to.this.ip:514 I'm kinda confused about this....I don't know if mysqld.log (centos box) falls under something that you have to monitor...or if I can just forward the file that is created by the program to another server. On my central syslog server the rsyslog.conf I want to use a template to receive this data and put it in a file so $template DYNmysqld,"/var/log/hosts/%HOSTNAME%/mysqld.log" If \ $source != 'myhostname'\ And \ $programname == 'mysqld' \ Then ?DYNmysqld Should this be working?
