Trying to figure out if there's a way to get syslog.conf to direct remote logging from a wireless access point to log to a separate file instead of the main syslog and can't figure out how that could be done from man syslog.conf (or man 2/3 of syslog)
this clearly doesn't work
192.168.1.251.* /var/log/WAP-2.log
which according to the man page, makes sense since this the IP address is not a facility.
Is there a way to do this that I am missing?
The AP's syslog parms must match the syslog.conf parms.
e.g., for a MikroTik AP,
[root@catch22 ~]# grep -i mikrotik /etc/syslog.conf # MikroTik router messages user.* /var/log/mikrotik.log
---- I suspect I'm SOL...(Linksys WAP is Linux I think. They do have the source code available for D/L)
local0.* /var/log/local0.log local1.* /var/log/local1.log local2.* /var/log/local2.log local3.* /var/log/local3.log local4.* /var/log/local4.log local5.* /var/log/local5.log local6.* /var/log/local6.log user.* /var/log/user.log
restarted syslog service and then rebooted WAP but all of those files are still empty ;-(
Thanks
