how do I send logs but keep a local copy

[benhank]

Howdy !

I have servers running hpux 11.31 and a few linux servers.
I want to have those servers send a copy of their syslogs to NLS but also keep a copy on the localhost.
Ideally I would like to edit the

Code: Select all

/nagioslogserver/scripts/setup-linux.sh

which will make it easier for my admins to get thier servers sending their logs

The script adds an additional configuration file to send logs to a remote NLS server but shouldn't impact how they are stored locally or prevent them from being stored locally. /etc/rsyslog.conf by default will dictate where the logs are stored locally.

AH ok I see. Well the script work on a system running hpux 11.31 ? I suspect it will but i gotta dbl check.

I'm not 100% sure, it really depends on what your hpux system has on it as a syslog agent and config location.

You may need to roll your own based off of the "manual" instructions under "+ Add Log Source" -> Linux -> Manual (rsyslog)

Unfortunately, we do not have a hpux 11.31 system in house to test this on.
