Nagios Support Forum

I was reading on nxlog.org that you can install nxlog on linux as well. I was wondering if this would be perferrable versus everyghing being parsed by rsyslog?

Like if you had a request to only have jboss logs send to log manager versus everything in syslog.

It is a lot less work if you already have rsyslog. rsyslog has better support better than nxlog in linux. From NLS, Home --> add a log source --> select Linux File setup, you can either go the manual method, or run the script as provided. The script will add the necessary statements for filtering and tagging the input source to the rsyslog config files for you.
