You can use something like this: +host1 *.* /var/log/remote/host1/messages +host2 *.* /var/log/remote/host2/messages in your `syslog.conf' file. Please note that adding this to the end of the syslog.conf file will not inhibit logging of the same messages to /var/log/messages or any other matches found earlier. Thus, this syslog.conf file: *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages Will log the messages from host `foo' both in /var/log/messages *AND* /var/log/remote/foo/messages. To make syslogd log the messages from host `foo' only in /var/log/remote/foo/messages you'd have to use something like this: -foo *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages Multiple hosts can be specified like this: -foo,bar *.* /var/log/messages +foo *.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages +bar *.* /var/log/remote/bar/messages Regards, Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Syslog Server - splitting log info from client machines
A quick question: On the client machine, I have: *.* @loghost Then on loghost, I want to split logs coming from the client machine into different files. I want separate log file for imapd, pop3d, etc. How do I do this with stock syslogd? Please don't suggest syslog-NG ;) Leave it out for now. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ One difference between a man and a machine is that a machine is quiet when well oiled. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
