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.
