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

Bart,

Yes, if both /mnt/kd/rc.conf and the series of files under /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ both exist, the series of files under /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ take precedence and the /mnt/kd/rc.conf file is ignored.

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<http://auth.info> login[733]: root login on 'pts/0'
Nov 12 10:06:56 ASTERISK syslog.info<http://syslog.info> syslogd exiting
Nov 12 10:06:57 ASTERISK syslog.info<http://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.

Bart,

Just to be clear, add

SYSLOGHOST="10.1.2.3"

to your /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf file.

service netsyslogd stop
gen-rc-conf
service netsyslogd init

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....
