Yes, but standard syslog does not support the @@hostname directive for tcp logging, only @hostname for udp logging.

Re: [CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
One thing which I have not seen discussed yet -- the syslog.conf seems to work much better when you use tabs, not spaces, in it. So in your case it would be *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none[tab][tab][t...@192.168.1.5 Don't know if rsyslog.conf has the same requirement. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | d...@xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com pgpDnXp7orddY.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

In my case, the remote server is running rsyslog, but that the CentOS syslog should be able to talk to RH9 rsyslog, right? > Have you "tcpdumped" udp or tcp? Tried both. Nothing coming from the CentOS messages on port 514. Thank you. Kind Regards. jupiter ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Or, I am wondering if it has never worked on CentOS 5? syslog or rsyslog? Have you "tcpdumped" udp or tcp?

The rsyslog.conf in FC 9 is much easy to be configured, just enable the InputTCPServerRun and ModLoad. It is not the problem in FC 9 rsyslog server, it is the problem in CentOS syslog, no messages sending to FC9 when I checked with tcpdump on port 514 on FC9. Has anyone made CentOS 5 syslog work to send messages to remote syslog server? Or, I am wondering if it has never worked on CentOS 5? Thanks Dag and all responses.

The double @ is for using tcp/514 instead of udp/514, which is more reliable. But you need to configure it correctly on the server to make sure it accepts the traffic. The rsyslog.conf manpage has some info, the documentation in /usr/share/doc/rsyslog contains the details.

Re: [CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
Hi, 1 .One is enough and the remoter server should be configured to accept the syslog. 2. double quotes are not required.

Try just one @ instead of two? Also is the FC9 system configured to receive messages? You can use the 'logger' command to send custom messages with user defined priority/facility for testing purposes as well. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
