Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this cause it to no longer be a
real-time solution? The machine I'm running MySQL on is fairly
vulnerable to attack (which, for the time being, cannot be
changed...although I have secured it as much as is possible), which is
why I'm logging everything remotely
I am not sure that MySQL can directly log to syslog but Unix provide this
logger - make entries in the system log
logger [-t tag] [-p pri] [-i] [-f file] [message...]
So you use MysQL to put messages in a file and then use logger to send it to
syslogs. This is how we do it too.
