Setting Up The Log Relay Host

To use Kernel Log relaying, you must configure a remote server to receive the 
syslog messages. This procedure will vary depending on the type of machine you 
use as the remote log host. The following is an example of how to configure a 
remote Linux server using the syslog daemon.

Example Of Using Linux syslogd

The following steps activate the syslog daemon on a Linux server. Make sure you 
have 

root

 user identity for these tasks.

1.

Log on as 

root

 to the machine you want to use as your syslog 

relay host.

The following operations require 

root

 user permissions. If you are not 

already logged on as root, type 

su

 at the command line prompt to become 

root

 (“super user”).

2.

Edit 

/etc/init.d/sysklogd

 and add “ 

-r

 ” 

to the variable 

SYSLOGD

 

near the top of the file. The line you edit will look like this:

SYSLOGD= “-r”

Consult the man pages to get more information on syslogd command 
options. (Type man 

syslogd

 at the command line.)

3.

If you want to send all the messages to a file, edit 

/etc/syslog.conf

.

For example you can add this line to send all messages to a log file called 
“

AP_syslog

”

:

* . *       -/tmp/AP_syslog

Consult the man pages to get more information on 

syslog.conf

 command 

options. (Type man 

syslog.conf

 

at the command line.)

4.

Restart the syslog server by typing the following at the command line 
prompt:

/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
