trying to replace syslog with syslog-ng. When I:
yum erase syslog,
wants to remove everything else that (presumably) has syslog as a dependency. how do I replace the dependency on syslog with a dependency on syslog-ng?
I am looking for an open source syslog server which accumulate the each and every log of Windows, Solaris, Linux and network devices. Currently I am using Syslog-ng which is not fulfiling my requirement in Windows clients, as I need the logs of every action which user performed after logon.

Had a look at etc/sysconfig editor eg cron but could not find a setting which allows to delete files older than a month. Where and how could I influence this ? I deleted manually all syslog files older than a month. Approx 6GB

destination d_auth { file("/var/log/secure"); };
filter f_filter3 { facility(authpriv); };
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter3); destination(d_auth); };
I'm using a syslog-ng.conf which has served me well in the past (v1.6.9 on fedora).
I tried to install Syslog-ng-3.2.4 in Centos 5.6,when i need to start the deamon syslog-ng =>Failure and i have this message:

I open "man vsftpd.conf", it says syslog_enable If enabled, then any log output which would have gone o /var/log/vsftpd.log goes to the system log instead. Logging is done under the FTPD facility. Default: NO So I add "syslog_enable=YES" to the /etc/vsftpd.conf, and add "ftpd.* /var/log/ftplog" into /etc/syslog.conf. But there is no log infomation in the ftplog file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-processor x86 box with CentOS 5 Linux 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5, mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.77, and tons of storage space. I want to run a syslog solution on this box for a SOHO infrastructure. We've got routers, switches, Windows servers, other Linux boxes, etc. I've looked at syslog-ng, but it seems rather overkill, but I like the idea of storing logs in a MySql database. Is there anything I can yum install?

I've just configured my Linksys RVS-4000 router to syslog messages to remote syslogd server (i.e. my CentOS5 machine). Redirecting messages was easy, but now I'm having difficulties to redirect those same messages received from Linksys to a separate log file. By default, all these messages are logged to /var/log/messages, and after browsing manual pages for syslog, syslog.conf, and syslogd, came to suspect that what I want isn't possible.

I tried this however when adding in portions of the default config, I only receive local and not remote logs anymore. I am forwarding my config.

OS CentOS 5.4 I have a DNS server that is logging all named and dns requests to the chrooted named directory. By default named logs to /var/log/messages but I want to isolate all the dns queries and requests to separate files. I know I can add entries to /etc/syslog.conf to "roll" the logs and logrotate should pick them up but fuzzy as to the syntax. I don't know what "tag" to use in the first fieild. for example
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none/var/log/messages
Here is the logging section of my named.conf
# pwd

Recently I had to login to OS 11.3 via tty, but was unable to. Tty screen was flooded with syslog output. Instead of outputting info only on tty10 it was throwing it on every tty (1-6), I switched to.
How to fix this behaviour and restrict syslog output only to tty10?
I wonder how I can filter the syslog? i.e. there is a message that I don't want to see logged in there etc?

I suspect something to be wrong.
Is there a tool I can use in the shell to generate a log? So I can check that the log appear in the syslog file.

The thing is that if i restart my syslog-ng server and login with ssh, it logs it. but when i login again it dont. But if i restart the syslog-ng daemon again it logs again, but only once.
Here is my config.

Missing Syslog.conf file First I installed VM Ware. I then installed Debian on a virtual machine which appears to be running fine. (except I have no network connectivity) but I digress. The real issue is that there is no syslog.conf in etc directory or anywhere else.

I wrote a script which will run in ubuntu box and will display in tty1, without loading the gdm. The problem is when I plugged in a usb drive it will cause some messages to be printed into the current tty user logged in.
Like : [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
This is really disturbing when a user is running the script. Is there anyway that I can direct all the messages to some other tty which I don't use.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having two problems with remote syslogging with this configuration in syslog.conf:
*.info;authpriv.*;cron.* @myhost.dnsalias.com
As you can see the logging is made to an host with dynamic ip, and as soon as the ip changes the logging seems to stop.
Another thing is that it only seems to log the first part (*.info), the other ones don't appear.

I�m installing fail2ban to improve the security of a home asterisk server which from time to time becomes the target of some sip account cracker and/or ssh brute force attack.For those not familiar with fail2ban, this utility monitors log files to find matches with user specified expressions to identify the presence of a brute force attack. Then configures iptables rules to block the offending IP.Here�s an example:
