Could some kind soul please tell me how exactly one can send syslog to another machine. Am I right in deducing that syslog has been replaced by rsyslog? If so, I do not understand the instructions at the end of /etc/rsyslog.conf , which I assume are intended for remote logging: --------------------------------------------------- # ### begin forwarding rule ### # The statement between the begin ... end define a SINGLE forwarding # rule. They belong together, do NOT split them. If you create multiple # forwarding rules, duplicate the whole block! # Remote Logging (we use TCP for reliable delivery) # # An on-disk queue is created for this action. If the remote host is # down, messages are spooled to disk and sent when it is up again. #$WorkDirectory /var/spppl/rsyslog # where to place spool files #$ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files #$ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible) #$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown #$ActionQueueType LinkedList # run asynchronously #$ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down # remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional #*.* @@remote-host:514 # ### end of the forwarding rule ### --------------------------------------------------- I looked briefly at /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-3.21.3/ but there are 90 html files there none of which seemed very likely to hold the required information. I did not understand the README in this directory: --------------------------------------------------- This file has been superseeded by the fils in the doc folder. Please see doc/manual.html for futher details. If you are looking for install information doc/install.html is for you! If you do not have the doc set, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc --------------------------------------------------- Where exactly is the doc folder? I notice that there is no man entry for rsyslog but there are man entries for syslog and rsyslog.conf . I am very confused ... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
