[olug] Remote syslogging

[VincentR]

Syslog should be using the hostname of the system in each line of the log file.
If you really need it in seperate files you could run a script via cron to do
that.  Something like this would work:

grep host-A /var/log/messages >> /var/log/messahes.host-A
ex /var/log/messages -c ':%d/^[[:alnum:]]host-A[[:alnum:]]/' -c -wq

The synatx for ex may be wrong, but you get the idea...

Don't forget to add the new log files to /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

Hello,
    My first post to the list.  Hope the format is correct.

I'm playing with syslog.  Sending messages from a couple RH 7.x to a third RH7.x
machine.

The syslog server stores all messages received in /var/log/messages.

I would like to tailor the logging to something like
/var/log/machine1
/var/log/machine2
etc.
For the life of me, I cannot figure this out.

In my free time I have scoured the web looking for the answer to this.

Thanks.

Chaz
