Logs
Centralized logs files
There are things to do on both server and hosts.
On the target host
Append the following line to the /etc/rsyslog.conf
file and restart the rsyslog service.
*.* @IP_ADDRESS_OF_THE_LOG_SERVER
On the log server
Uncomment those lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf
file.
# provides UDP syslog reception $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 # provides TCP syslog reception $ModLoad imtcp $InputTCPServerRun 514
Add a file in the /etc/rsyslog.d
directory for each remote logging host in with the following content:
$template myhostname, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log" if $fromhost-ip == 'HOST_IP_ADDRESS' then ?myhostname
This will store log files of remote hosts in different folders following the hostname, with filenames corresponding to the name of the program that emitted logs.
