Log to remote syslog server in ubuntu
I needed to send my servers logs to a remote syslog server. Its an easy config change in ubuntu 12.04.
Under /etc/rsyslog.d/ there is a configuration file called 50-default.conf.
Simply edited line
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog |
is the entry which logs to /var/log/syslog to
*.*;auth,authpriv.none @remote.syslogserver.com:514 |
Then restart service
sudo service rsyslog restart |
Thats it!
