Syslog-ng appears to have many config files and I am not sure which to modify.
I see only one - where are you looking at? /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
Can anyone assist me with this short line of syntax, given the above Linux Log file's ability to display the file as it changes and the various parameters it uses, some of which I understand but not all. The ability to NOT have to maintain a M$ PC just to be a Syslog +daemon would be a breakthrough for so many sysop's who require real time syslog data.
To log external sources, I add: source ext { udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); }; below the existing "source src {... };" section. Later on, I add, for instance: filter f_router { host("router"); }; ... destination router { file("/var/log/router"); }; log { source(ext); filter(f_router); destination(router); };
I know this is a big ask, but no one but no one currently produces as Linux Syslog Daemon + Log Viewer.
Viewer? I just use plain "less /var/log/file" in an xterm. Or "tailf ..." for a continuous display with less resources spent. Viewing the log is a completely diferent task from logging it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
