Re: [Astlinux-users] Redirecting all AstLinux logs to an external syslog server

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Bart,

The place to discover hidden features is in the /stat/etc/rc.conf file, or using the web interface ...

System tab ->  View System Files: [ Default System Variables ] click { View Selected File }
--
## Remote Syslog Config
## The machine below will receive all logging messages from this machine via
## syslog's remote logging features.
#SYSLOGHOST=""
--

I can't say I have ever used it, and keep in mind the syslog stream is not encrypted.

I'm OK at the Asterisk part, but pretty lame at the Linux side, especially in a minimalist environment that's flooded with optimizations to prevent or contain permanent changes. I'm currently running astlinux-1.3.1 x86_64 - Asterisk 13.17.2 on an APU2.

The most obvious (and easiest) avenue was to look at the GUI for an option to specify a remote syslog server but no such setting exists. The next step was to look for syslogd.conf (or similar) to see if I could fiddle that...but I couldn't find that either....
