I have been trying to get my OpenSuSE 10.2 Retail Client to accept remote logs from mail server.
Piece of cake. :-p
Any ideas
Add this to the default config of /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
source ext { udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); };
below the source src {...} def. Then:
filter f_router { host("router"); };
destination router { file("/var/log/router"); }; log { source(ext); filter(f_router); destination(router); };
All my external log sources are thus separated.

Hi Carlos (Greatt List) Excellent added your additions and run netstat command which now works. chuck:/var/log # netstat -a | egrep syslog udp 0 0 *:syslog *:* Next tasks as I see that the syslog client's mail is in my /var/log/mail So any steps me in the right direction to for my external log sources in a separated file as you mentioned. Thus my proof concept is working and I am going "Now" create the setup on one of are dormant web servers which I will install MailGraph for graph reports on are mail server as I am not allowed to add any more load on are postfix mail server.
