Topic: SYSLOG Server

[dilligaf]

I have an appliance that can write log files to a SYSLOG Server.
I have searched the forums for threads of anyone else setting one up, could not find anything.

Anyone having done this on SMEServer any pointers appreciated.
Thanks.

cp /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/sysconfig/syslog/10NoMARKs

cd  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/syslog/

modify 10NoMARKs this way:

# we don't want the MARK ticks
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"


then

Code: [Select]


expand-template /etc/sysconfig/syslog

As I have been setting up syslog on my SME servers a number of times, I have added a mini Howto in the Howto category on how I did it:

I follwed this guy's howto but it's not working. How can I undo everything, or can I just try the second poster's suggestion?
