Hello List, can you give me a hint: I have a Linux Backup Server (NAS) running Samba and I want to transfer my logfiles to another Linux host.
It's Easy, but not satisfying with old syslog: I get all the messages in the syslog file of the Linux Loghost.
I read that syslog-ng might be the best way for me: I want to build a log Server with one directory per host and separate files in these corresponding the services. like: /var/log/NAS/messages /var/log/NAS/warn /var/log/NAS/mail /var/log/NAS/samba/log.smbd /var/log/NAS/samba/log.nmbd
and for our proxy: /var/log/PROXY/messages ... /var/log/squid/access.log ...
4 Questions: Is this setup possible?
Yes
Do I need to setup syslog-ng on all Clients?
No
Does it make sense?
Yes
Does anybody have better recommendations?
(No) I would prefer /var/log/PROXY/squid/access.log ;-)
Thanks a lot
You`re welcome. BTW. You schould read man syslog-ng next.
