[CentOS] How to log separate files or directories for centralizing SysLog server ?

Hi Tomas,

It's working in rsyslog with applying the link you've given. Thanks. The
only thing that I am thinking now is how to make logrotate to automatically
compress those different directories/files in various hostnames logged in a
certain period of time. I can copy and modify manually the
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog to target those different hostname logged but is
there any settings needed to work it in logrotate.conf?

Thanks.

James
