==SME Server as SYSLOG server==

If you have network devices or appliances that can log to '''SYSLOG''', the following mini '''Howto''' shows how you can enable your SME Server to capture the '''SYSLOG''' messages and record them in your messages log.

You need to be root (su -) to do the following installation actions.

First create a custom template directory as follows:

   mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/syslog
   cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/sysconfig/syslog

Using for favourite editor, create the file '''90AllowRemoteSyslog''' and add
the following lines:

   # Enable the syslog to capture remote messages from the network
   SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="$SYSLOGD_OPTIONS -r"

Now expand the template and restart the '''SYSLOG''' service.

   expand-template /etc/sysconfig/syslog
   service syslog restart 

You can now use:

   tail -f /var/log/messages

to view new entries being added to your messages log and see if the '''SYSLOG''' entries of your network device or appliance are showing up.
