Server :: Create A Separate Logfile For Host Sending Logging To Rsyslog?
Feb 16, 2011
After struggling and googling on the internet I can't manage it to work.I have stup rsyslog to receive the logging from my firewall and it puts it into the syslog file.ut I would like to have a separate logfile for these messages.I have created the firwall.log file with owner syslog, same as for the syslog file.I already have tried to use in the /etc/rsyslog.d/10-firewall.conf the following ::msg, contains, "firewalld" /var/log/firewall.logor
:msg, contains, "firewalld" -/var/log/firewall.logI don't know the difference between the "-" sign in the lines but I have seen also those kind of situations.
I also have put this line into the 50-default.conf file because I thought it wasn't seeing the 10-firewall.conf file but no work.I have added a $template HostMessages, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/logfile.log" in the /etc/rsyslog.conf file but neither it works.In the firewall I can see the Syslog facility is now on LOG_LOCAL0 and I can change it from LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, ... until LOCAL7What does these different numbers mean

I try to log all my iptable logs to mysql instead just a logfile. The setup is as followed:
[Code].....
[red]Problem[/red] rsyslog logs everything correct, except it does not log to db, it logs to /var/log/messages. As I am brand new to the whole Linux experience, I don't get it. My /etc/rsyslog.conf is setup with $ModLoad onmysql.

I'm having issues setting up rsyslog to receive syslog from another server and only log to one file. I'm receiving the syslog from the remote side, however its putting the entries into more than one log file.
I configured /etc/rsyslog.conf to enable udp, and I have implemented a filter to log only from that IP address, and then stop processing more rules, but it seems to continue on.
I have found that the remote syslog events are using local0 and local1. There are two custom rsyslog config files in /etc/rsyslog.d that handle those two facilities. If I use that same if statement at the beginning of those custom config files, I can get it to work. Seems like a hack though.
Not working:
I put my if statement before the include statement, thinking I could stop it from hitting the custom rules.
Code:
Select all# /etc/rsyslog.conf Configuration file for rsyslog v3.
#
# For more information see
# /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html
#################
#### MODULES ####
#################
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging
$ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd)
#$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability
[Code] ....
This works:
A custom config file in /etc/rsyslog.d
Code: Select allif $fromhost-ip == '<my ip>' then /var/log/<my directory>/syslog.log
& ~
local0.* /var/log/<a log file for local0>.log

What I am trying to do is log IP Address, MAC Address and the host name for records. So I can have a record of what PC got which IP address and when they got it. So far my search has yielded no results. It would not be that big of a deal as I could always look at the dhcp file, but it is generated dynamically (3rd party application using RADIUS and each user gets a host).
subnet 208.x.x.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 208.x.x.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

I have been trying to create an rsyslog config for a software package that I use. I want to use the local7 facility for this package, and split the messages according to priority across several files. I would like the config to be a file which can just be dropped into rsyslog.d without having to modify the rsyslog.conf or 50-defaults.conf. I created a file called 40-test.conf, in which I have the following:
local7.none /var/log/messages
local7.none /var/log/syslog
local7.=info -/var/log/test.info
local7.=debug -/var/log/test.debug
local7.=notice;local7.=warning -/var/log/test.notice
local7.=err -/var/log/test.error
I am getting the correct local7 messages in the correct 'test' files, but i am also still getting local7 messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog, so it seems the local7.none has no effect. Is this the correct method of achieving what I want? What am I doing wrong?

Generally SSH related log messages are logged in /var/log/messages file. Is there a way to log them in another different file? I mean is there some configuration setting to enable this?

I am facing a problem while trying to log SSH messages in a separate file, say, /var/log/ssh_logs. I have tried modifying the syslog-ng.conf file as follows:
filter f_ssh { facility(auth, authpriv) and match("sshd[[0-9]+]:"); };
destination d_ssh { file ("/var/logs/sshd_logs"); };
log {
[code]....
But still I am not able to get the ssh logs in the new file. They continue to go to /var/log/auth.

I have a Ubuntu Server that is correctly set up and has been working for awhile. It currently has a domain (Registered by GoDaddy) and it is used as the main. I just bought another domain (From GoDaddy) and I want it to connect to the same server but a different section to host a second site completely separate from the first.
So this is how I want it to be setup:
Domain1 = /var/www/
Domain2 = /var/www/website2
When I put Domain1 in the url like www.domain1.com it will connect to /var/www/
When I put Domain2 in the url like www.domain2.com it will connect to /var/www/website2

Im running a dedicated game server for ArmA-II. There is a server.cfg file that directs the server to output to a log file all server events, such as game issues from clients and the server itself.The value in the server.cfg file looks like this: logfile="server.log";How do I set it up so that the dedicated server outputs this information, not only to the log, but also to my screen? Would this be done from the server.cfg file?

We want to begin centralizing our system logs to a dedicated server, using a daemon that is flexible and offers more features. After some research, I decided to give rsyslog a whirl (versus syslog-ng).roblem has come down to compilation errors which, unfortunately, I've not been able to resolve otherwise (rsyslog forums) and it appears this is a larger problem with the product. So before I begin making another decision, I wanted to get some input from others here.Here is a snippet of the errors:
Code:
/usr/local/src/rsyslog/rsyslog-5.4.0/runtime/queue.c:1291: undefined reference to `ATOMIC_SUB'

I was wondering how could I specify for how long the logs will be kept. Rsyslog doesn't have such an option (at least I didn't find it).Do I have to use logrotate for this, or is there some other option?

I have an ubuntu 8.04 server running a couple of web sites using virtual hosts , apache2, mysql and php. I have noticed that by default php sessions are created in /var/lib/php5 and all stored in plain text.
I have quickly created a php script in a separate virtual host to list and display all contents in /var/lib/php5 , and it seems incredibly easy to see what details the other accounts are storing in sessions.

I have set up SSH and redirected the ssh server to listen on another port other than 22 for a bit of added security.
Now in hosts.deny I have:
ALL : ALL
In hosts.allow I have:
SSH : ip_address_of_client
I can no longer connect. I get the message: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.
When I change hosts.allow to read:
ALL : ip_address_of_client
I can successfully connect the server.
However, I only want to allow SSH access in hosts.allow. What is the correct syntax?
I have tried and failed with each one of these:
SSH : ip_address:port_number
SSH2 : ipaddress
sshfwd-portnumber : ip_address_of_client

I want to try out KDE on Lucid, but I don't want to install KDE on top of ubuntu, because I will end up with two sets of applications and software that is gnome specific to load in the KDE environment.SOOOOO, I want to create a separate user that is only KDE and a user(my current one) that is only gnome. Different names, different environments and applications.
Also, if it is possible, I will need instructions to remove a user as well, so in the future I decide which one I like better, I can delete the other user account.

I'm trying to create a launcher that's doing two separate commands. Here's currently what I have.
Code:
rm ~/Games/Nintendo DS/NO$Zoomer.ini; wine ~/Games/Nintendo DS/NO$Zoomer.exe
Now, the reason I have to delete the .ini file, is for some reason the file gets corrupted every time (it's a well known problem, from what I've read.) and I can't start up the program until it's removed. Now, it works fine in Terminal, but when I run it through my Launcher icon, it does nothing.

I use DeVeDe a lot, and it works great for general conversion and DVD authoring. I don't know, however, how to create a DVD such that each of the original .avi files will be their own chapters. In other words, I have about six or seven .avi files (episodes of a season of a television show) and I want to create a DVD with those episodes that I can navigate separately. Do I first convert each .avi? How then do I create a single DVD with six or seven chapters/episodes?

I'm trying a fresh install of 11.2 but I couldn't figure out how to make the whole installation on the same logical extended partition.
It always wants to create a separate /home partition.
I have a second HDD with NTFS only for backup purposes, but the installer puts a grub entry for it too (windows 2). And this HDD is not even bootable. I don't have the balls to try to boot from it and see what happens. How to get rid of it?

using Opensuse 11.3, I have used Ubuntu 9.10 in the past and have had a blast with Linux. I have to rehash some of my old skills that I have forgotten in the past several years..I installed 11.3, everything is working fine. However, I just releazed that after I installed it, I used my whole partition (Not Windows 7, or I would've been in hell). My Windows 7 is in Raid 0. My second HDD is 1 TB and 11.3 is on there. So, how can I trim down let's say 100 GB and just give the rest to Windows (800gbs). I need that much because I do editing for videos, etc. So, once again, how can I trim my partition and use it for Windows 7.

I'm trying out some other distros i have fedora, openSUSE, natty (wanna check out gnome3), and debian
i tried to create a pen drive for all separate ones of the using unetbootin' and none worked except natty
i installed image writer which doesn't recognize any of my iso's when i browse my filesystem the folder they're in is just empty
i've tried the multicd.sh script to create a multiboot dvd so i don't have to create 5 different cds but when i execute it it just lists memtest where its supposed to list all the .iso's in the folder (yes i renamed them all simple as per instructions...
and then the multibootusb which only recognized openSUSE and when it was done i couldn't boot off it
my pendrive only works at booting for ubuntu?
do i have to write 5 cd's just to experiment
i also tried
dd if=suse.iso of=/dev/scd1 bs=4m

I've written an Expect script that assists with change management on Cisco devices. The script creates log files for pre-change, the change itself, and post-change. Each log and its commands is triggered by a ! command. For example:
Code:
./dochange.exp hostname
<script spawns bash, user SSHes to hostname>
!PRE
[code]....
All of this works fine. My big hair-pulling hiccup is that the resulting log files are filled with raw backspace characters! I am using log_file to log the output from the script. I stop and restart logging with a new file when needed. However, the log files are pretty much unusable. After doing some research, it looks like log_file sends output to the file in real-time, unbuffered. When I hit a key, it's immediately sent to the log. What I would like is for only the resulting string to go to the log. If I start to type 'reload' and instead type 'show run', I don't want 'reload' to be listed in the log at all.

I'm trying to create a separate thread for my program which basically polls using the read command. However this new thread seems to block the main thread, anyone know why this could happen.
In main I call this function pthread_create(&mainEventThread, NULL, GenericEventThread, NULL);
which calls
/*New threads start function */
void *GenericEventThread()
{
short int i, nError = -1;
[Code]...
I've used pthread_self to check that a new thread is being created, so why is the while loop in one thread blocking the main thread from running, I haven't used the join function anywhere in my code.
