View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running on a laptop and cron.daily is set to run at 0625 So I wonder what happens if my machine is not turned on at that time.. At that rate it could also be off for the other periods as well (weekly, monthly) Is there solution that will allow them to run once they are online after the appointed time? using a cron entry that runs every 15 or 5 or 1 minute.

As I know, the pam modules will generate log to syslog and I can find related records tagged with 'pam_access', 'pam_unix' etc at /var/log/secure, but cannot find the one tagged with 'pam_time', only a record showed 'Permission Denied'. So how can I find the exact log of pam time module?? Below is my setting for pam time:
at /etc/pam.d/remote
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_securetty.so

I'm with Ubuntu server 10.10. I created a script and put it in /etc/cron.daily. But looks it doesn't run (it didn't generate any log). The following is all I did.
Code:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab' command to install the new version when you edit this file and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, that none of the other crontabs do.

Ive been asked by my boss to set up a ubuntu machine that will be used as a syslog server. He wants a GUI as a posed to a CLI. He would also perfer to have it non web based. We already have cati installed but he is not keen on the syslog side of that. Does anyone know of any other syslog programs?

Gidday, for some reason some of my RHEL servers don't send out a daily logwatch email (most do, but two don't) - and sadly I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
Can anybody give some help/hints as to where/how I may troubleshoot this. I should add that these servers can/do send emails (I have some cronjobs that fire off emails upon completion of their jobs, so I know its not a sendmail config issue).
I have a Dell Poweredge, 6 months old, running Fedora core 8. I have 2GB RAM and 500Gb SATA HD. I am running 3 VMWare machines. Two Win2003 Servers and 1 XP Pro. My server crashes almost daily. It doesn't actually reboot, it just freezes. It got to the point where I had to get a device that automatically reboots the server when it can't ping the server anymore. /var/log/messages has no entries that indicates the server crashed. It just stops at the point where it dies. The windows VMWare server also have no errors in the event log to indicate a problem.

So I made this change to "/etc/init.d/sysklogd" SYSLOGD="-r" Then in "/etc/syslog.conf" I added the following to the top of the file: Code: if $fromhost isequal 'Linksys' then /var/log/Linksys.log & ~
Then I rebooted the server. But there is no "/var/log/Linksys.log" file.
When building 8.04 servers, I reconfigure snmpd's logging options to prevent copious low priority messages being logged whenever our network management workstation polls them. I edit /etc/default/snmpd and change line 11 from:

I wish it was under better circumstances...very morning at 6:25am syslog-ng stops logging, right after it attempts to log rotate. its odd... the daemon doesnt die... it gets a new PID, but doesnt write the output to /var/log/syslog.Yet if I manually restart or reload syslog-ng it works great... its just like it doesnt like the logrotate...I have googled around and tried a few things...first I changed the postrotate in the logrotate.d/syslog-ng
--------/etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng---------
/var/log/syslog {
rotate 7

I'm guessing its possible but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this.I've tried playing with entries at the top of my syslog.conf file like:
*.* @172.20.10.1 # 1 server, works file
*.* @172.20.10.1,172.20.20.11 # doesn't work
*.* @172.20.10.1 172.20.20.11 # nor this
*.* @172.20.10.1,@172.20.20.11 # nor this
*.* @172.20.10.1 @172.20.20.11 # nor this
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.

I'm running a PRI and when the PRI goes down, it logs a "DEACTIVED" in the log. I would like an email telling me this so I know to get on it and fix it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded a Ubuntu server from version 8.04 to 10.04 and after a reboot the webmin and syslog-ng server do not start at boot anymore. I can start them manually by doing /etc/init.d/webmin start and /etc/init.d/syslong-ng start and everything works fine until I root again. Granted this machine is rarely rebooted but when it is, I don't want to have to remember to start these services. I have tried a full removal of syslog-ng and reinstall but to no avail. The entries are in the rc directories like they should and the links are valid.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running a headless Ubuntu 10.04 server with the 2.6.32-28-generic kernel. For what I can figure out no single direct cause I get a high load average and the following syslog output at random intervals. Generally the load average will drop back down to normal however the kernel errors will still continue What little I have been able to find has pointed to memory issues. I am not totaly convinced this is the cause as the server will be showing >50% free when the errors are happening.

I guess with major changes to syslog-ng, php-syslog going to licensing cost, and major overhaul to the syslog plugin with cacti - alot of documention was either disjointed, outdated or I just couldn't find it.this was performed on an 11.04 Ubuntu Server tall. I already had Cacti up and running and just needed to make it also a syslog collector.This guide assumes you already have mysql running, and cacti is already in place. If something looks wrong - please correct me. I am doing this from memory - trying to remember what all I had to do, and not a super admin.Required ubuntu install packages:libdbd-mysql syslog-ngcacti install packages:[URL]
Stop syslog-ng if you want. Changes should not take effect until you restart it.Should save the default syslog-ng configuration if you want to be safe. Below is the absolute minimum you need to get this working.Configuration on ubuntu is location in /etc/syslog/syslog-ng.conf Also make sure you fill in the proper username and password for mysql.
Code:
@version: 3.1
#Bare minimum syslog-ng configuration

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently Im having a syslog server that consolidate firewall logs on port 514 udp. Im also having a IDS device that I wish to push its logs to this particular syslog server so that I can retrieve my IDS logs on this server as well.
Is it possible to do so?Having syslog listening on port 514 for both firewall and IDS logs? If it is possible will the logs be recorded in a single log file?Or will it be recorded in a separate log file ie. firewall.log, IDS.log etc?? I wish to have them in separate individual log files or else there will be hard time segregating the log entries in a single file. Can anyone advice on how to achieve this??
I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:
Code:
hwclock --hctosys
I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.
