Feb 10, 2011I was reading around the web and saw that someone mentioned that the default syslog configuration should be adjusted. Is that true?

View 3 RepliesI 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.

I guess X has someting to do with this, but I'm not sure. Since the workstations are diskless, syslog is not stored locally so I cant se what is happening after the NiC stops working. When the worstation freezes, screen is going black, all lights on the keyboard turns on, lights on NiC is going black. It is not possible to ping the workstation.

I noticed in my system that my root partition is getting full. I found a lot of old compacted syslogfiles. 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

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Tomato router and it has the capability to have its logs go to a external server. syslog is the obvious choice for this. So I enabled remote logging on my linux server's syslogd (syslogd -r) and I can see all of the logs in /var/log/syslog. What I want to do is take everything that comes from the IP of my router (10.0.0.1) and divert it to its own file like /var/log/tomato to avoid polluting my syslog with external logs.
I can't find any examples of someone doing this. My only solution is to get a script together that strips out any line in /var/log/syslog with 10.0.0.1 in it and puts the line into /var/log/tomato and have the script run as a cron job, but that seems unnecessarily messy.
Unless someone knows that there is a solution, I'm 95% sure that syslog doesn't support this after reading more in-depth of the man page. So I need to migrate to syslog-ng or make a crazy script that runs with cron.
i installed php-syslog-ng 2.9.8m in RHEL5 box. I saw logs from the local machine once the cron execute in every one minute.I dont need to appear those in my syslog console. I want to disable these from my linux box.How can i archive this
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a syslogd on my ubuntu 10.10 system. I have a apache2 server on the same machine. I have configured my apache2.conf file to send the error logs to the local syslog server.
The config is as under :-
LogLevel notice
ErrorLog syslog:local1
I have also configured the /etc/syslog.conf as under :-
local1.info /var/log/apache2/error_logs
I have created a file in the /var/log/apache2 dir with the ownerships and permissions as under:-
-rwxrwxrwx 1 syslog adm 77 2011-08-11 18:14 /var/log/apache2/error_logs
Next I restarted the sysklogd and apache2 servers with a service command as under:-
sudo service sysklogd restart
sudo service apache2 restart
I thereafter observed the /var/log/apache2/error_logs file and found the entries for apache2 closing down and coming up as under:-
Aug 11 18:14:14 cc apache2[4940]: [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] ModSecurity for Apache/2.5.12 [URL] configured.
Aug 11 18:14:19 cc apache2[5282]: [notice] Original server signature: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o
Aug 11 18:14:20 cc apache2[5285]: [notice] Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o Microsoft-IIS/5.0 configured -- resuming normal operations
Now the problem is I donot get any other messages thereafter. So it is hardly useful. How can I increase the logged messages from apache. I tried the facility:
local1.*
Then restarted the sysklogd and apache2, but the contents of the /var/log/error_logs file remained similar. Next, I followed the link. I created the perl script for recording access logs of apache2. I then restarted the apache2 and sysklogd. when I opened my website from a browser, the access log did not work. I think I am getting something wrong with the facility value , in apache2.conf it is ErrorLog syslog:local1 ! but the script is suggesting that it should be local2 in the line 4
openlog('apache','cons','pid','local2');
I therefore changed the script to local1 in above line. But still no access log?
I'm on Debian with KDE 3.5 desktop and I use the Konsole terminal emulator.What I would like to know is: is it possible to tweak the color palette, for example to change my red to something a bit brighter? I use the "white on black" schema in Konsole and all colors are great except that red is far too dark on the black background. I found this Perl script that is supposed to change the palette but, while it prints the current palette just fine, I can see no difference between the various palettes.Searching for solutions mostly brings up pages about changing the scheme in Konsole or how to use colors in prompts and ls output etc, which is not quite what I need.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.1 to 9.1. Selecting (tapping) with the touchpad is a problem. I can not adjust it with the System > Preferences > Touchpad GUI. I have to tap and tap and tap, harder and harder. The sensitivity is way off. Can't adjust it with the GUI.
Anyone else have this issue. I'm using a Dell Inspiron.
More info: sometimes I tap and it works. Other times I have to tap tap tap tap, harder and harder. I believe it's a matter of adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad, but do not know how to do this after upgrading to 9.1.
Can't do it with the GUI.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 9.10 server at home on VMware Workstation 7. I have two NIC's configured, one NIC is setup to have a direct connection to the network "Bridged", another NIC is setup to have a private network connection on VMnet1.
Network card 1 - 192.168.1.160 (Bridged)
Network card 2 - 10.1.1.1 (Internal access only)
So when I try to access the Internet, I can not go out on the NIC 1. If I try to ping google.com I get a return from 10.1.1.1 "no reply". But I know that NIC 2 is working, because I can ping 192.168.1.160 from the workstation I'm running on.
So I think that my routing is sending traffic out to the wrong NIC, but not sure if this is a metric in the iptables or another place?
The reason for two NICS is to simulate a DMZ where the server will be running Squid, to test proxy from another workstation on the 10.1.1.X subnet.
I'm new to the Linux OS, and this is also my first post on this form. My question is Can you physically adjust the position of the dashboard? I'm familiar with Mac OS X where you could "Physically" adjust to the top, left, right or originally at the bottom. Is it possible and if it is, can someone explain to me the process on going about that?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed there're lots of "usb 3-1: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2" warnings in two of our server's syslog. They occur roughly every 20min. The server is a Dell R710 with CentOS 5.4 X86_64 installed. I suspect it's the virtual CD device of the iDrac6 but not sure. How Can I identify which USB device triggering these warning? The related syslog is as following:
