Does anybody happen to know how to enable remote system logging in opensuse 11.2?
I've read that it involves putting @hostname in /etc/rsyslog.conf but I see that there's also /etc/rsyslog.d/remote.conf but that is entirely commented out. I also kind of expect that there'll be a way to set it up in yast if I can only find it. I checked the sysconfig editor but didn't see anything there
I fought this all this morning having done an upgrade from 11.2. Both syslog-ng and rsyslogd were installed on the machine, I had always had remote logging working with syslog-ng.
Found that if you uncomment the following it works as before
# UDP Syslog Server: $ModLoad imudp.so # provides UDP syslog reception $UDPServerRun 514 # start a UDP syslog server at standard port 514
Thanks for that. That's to set up the server that's receiving the log, isn't it? Which will be very useful shortly. First I need to set up the machine that is sending the log. Is that just a matter of editing /etc/rsyslog.conf ? Thanks, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
