Hi all,

Somebody knows how can I bind rsyslogd to a specific ip adress?? I have two different interfaces on a centos5.5 host and I need to bind rsyslog to only one.

Hi CL,

I looked here:http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Very_simple_config_--_starting_point_for_modifications and read this:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- # -- Loading modules

$ModLoad immark $ModLoad imudp $ModLoad imtcp $ModLoad imuxsock $ModLoad imklog

# I also wanted to be able to receive syslog traffic

$UDPServerAddress 0.0.0.0 $UDPServerRun 514 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Over herehttp://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v3compatibility.html: I read this:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The following example configures an UDP syslog server at the local address 192.0.2.1 on port 514:

$ModLoad imudp $UDPServerAddress 192.0.2.1 # this MUST be before the $UDPServerRun directive! $UDPServerRun 514

"$UDPServerAddress *" means listen on all local interfaces. This is the default if no directive is specified.

Please note that now multiple listeners are supported. For example, you can do the following:

$ModLoad imudp $UDPServerAddress 192.0.2.1 # this MUST be before the $UDPServerRun directive! $UDPServerRun 514 $UDPServerAddress * # all local interfaces $UDPServerRun 1514

These config file settings run two listeners: one at 192.0.2.1:514 and one on port 1514, which listens on all local interfaces. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

HTH, -Bob

Oops sorry. I prefer to bind via tcp port, if it is possible... is it?

Thanks.
