I have several network appliances, and I want aggregate their syslog output for later analysis. Eventually I might think about a Splunk box, but for the interim I'm hoping to just build a CentOS 6 syslog server and have it aggregate everything on it for quick review. I installed rsyslog and am looking through the /etc/rsyslog.conf file for what I configure to (a) listen for syslog input from other devices (UDP port 514 is fine), (b) make a log, and (c) log rotate files. (a) I see in there (if I comment it out) # Provides UDP syslog reception $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 (Obviously add an iptables rule to let this traffic in) (b) I see options in there, but am not sure how to separate the local logs from the remote logs. Is it something like the following? *.*;local6.none; auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog (c) I understand I can do if I edit /etc/logrotate.d/MyNetworkAppliance.log. This isn't as big of a concern right now. Just trying to figure out how to log things separately. :/ Any suggestions on what I should do to make this work?
