rsyslog not installed - CentOS 4 Options?

Post by cschwehr »

Greetings,

I've got a really old server that runs CentOS 4 and doesn't even meet the requirements for rsyslog 2.0.0 or 2.0.6 - can someone give me any options for sending files into Nagios Log Server?

It's got sysklogd on it - actually I couldn't even get shipper.py to run for testing because it can't parse the python script the version is so old.

I unterstand most of you are using newer servers, but I can't really just upgrade packages on this, as it's the test server to a core business server that will be replaced this year, and although it has it's issues - it's running right now and I'd prefer to not edit a bunch of packages - has anyone used anything other than rsyslog to monitor?

Thanks!

At the moment we only have support for rsyslog and syslog-ng as those are the default agents on most systems. If you wish to use a different agent, different protocol or anything of that nature you are more than welcome to, you will just have to do some input additions, possibly filter additions, and configuration of your remote agent\sender. Have you looked into syslog-ng?
