Title: SYSLOG Server
Post by: dilligaf on May 04, 2007, 12:16:09 AM

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.

Code: [Select]


mkdir -p  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/syslog/

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

cd  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/syslog/
pico 10NoMARKs


modify 10NoMARKs this way:

Code: [Select]


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


then

Code: [Select]


expand-template /etc/sysconfig/syslog
service syslog restart


et voilà.. your Sme server is now a syslog server :-)

Title: Syslog Howto
Post by: Marco Hess on May 07, 2007, 06:08:49 AM

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?
