Tried to integrate syslog-ng relay client with rsyslog server, and it is working fine.
Suse Enterprise Linux 10 uses syslog-ng. On mgmt node of IBM BCU, setup syslog-ng in file ‘/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in’:
src:
udp(ip(“0.0.0.0″) port(514));
tcp(ip(“mgmt_node_ip”) port(5140) keep-alive(yes) max-connections(100));
At the end of this file:
destination std {
# file(“/var/log/HOSTS/$YEAR-$MONTH/$HOST/$FACILITY-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY” owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));
tcp(“rsyslog_hostname” port (514));
};
log {
source(src);
destination(std);
};
SuSEconfig –module syslog-ng
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
From internal nodes:
vi /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in:
destination loghost {
tcp(“mgmt_node_ip” port(5140));
};
log {
source(src);
destination(loghost);
};
SuSEconfig –module syslog-ng
/etc/init.d/syslog restart
