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 [root@catch22 ~]#
