Question about syslog in Linux
Hi,
We are planning to setup a centralized syslog server in our setup. I got 2 questions with respect to it.
1. In a typical setup, what are all the log messages we should push to centralized log server from each client ? In /etc/syslog.conf file (on selector field), what are the "facility" and "level", we should use?
2. We have the Jboss application running on all client server and it generates some logs. We would like to capture these logs also in centralized syslog server. Is it possible to redirect these application logs (from all clients) to centralized log server using 'syslog' facility?
Thanks,
Ashok

Actually log4j can send to local syslog first and it is then to sort out what to log to remote.

Hi, I don't want to push all the logs to centralized syslog server. We have about 500 machines, imagine if we use *.* to push all the logs from a client, wouldn't it choke the network ?
I want to know that in a typical corporate setup, what are all the logs to be captured and send to centralized log server? Please let me know if you have more suggestions on this.
