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

[Bart T. <bar...@gm...>]

Hi,

Brilliant!

I found the rc.conf file in /mnt/kd and added my syslog server:

## Remote Syslog Config
## The machine below will receive all logging messages from this machine via
## syslog's remote logging features.
SYSLOGHOST="192.168.1.10"

I tried it with, and without, quotes. Rebooting between attempts. But
nothing is reaching the syslog server.

Then I got your update, and edited the user.conf file via the GUI. It must
be the right one because the system says: File opened for editing:
/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf

I added the line:

### user.conf - start ###
###
###  Advanced Configuration: User System Variables
###
###  Define variables here that are not otherwise set in the Network tab.
###
###  Variables defined here will override any value set elsewhere.
###
###


SYSLOGHOST="192.168.1.10"

### user.conf - end ###

Then I restarted syslogd which all went without a hitch:

Nov 12 10:06:16 ASTERISK auth.info login[733]: root login on 'pts/0'
Nov 12 10:06:56 ASTERISK syslog.info syslogd exiting
Nov 12 10:06:57 ASTERISK syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.19.4

Still nothing on the remote syslog server. So I tried a reboot (just to be
sure).

And then she kicked into life!

Thank you so much!!

Kind regards,
Bart.
