I've been playing with rsyslog recently in the hopes of creating the 'one monitoring server to rule them all' with logging, nagios, ibm director, etc. It seems the fedora/rh folks made a very good decision in making rsyslog the default logger in fedora 8, but it works equally well in centos5 as a drop in replacement for the sysklogd logger. In addition to the usual logging you get by default in centos, rsyslog also allows for log templating, regex filtering, alerts, tcp and udp delivery, logging to database (mysql, but soon postgres) and sane multi-host log handling. It's a very good competitor to syslog-ng, without any of the dual licensing bits. It'll also soon have native ssl handling for secure log transfer. It's very sexy. I second Karanbir's recommendation to take a look at rsyslog. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
