Subject: Syslog forwarding.
Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Remove | Report Abuse

Good day, dear colleagues! I need to know something about syslog
forwarding (generally for SCO OpenServer 5.07).
As I know I can configure syslog to forward messages to another Unix
mahcine (another syslog). I need to configure a couple SCO machines to
forward all syslog messages to another "central" SCO machine, and then
"central" SCO machine should forward all received messages including
local messages to another SCO machine.

Is it possible? Could syslog forward messages which has been received
from another mahcines?

Maybe to have some configuration examples, log messages examples,
please share it with me. Thank you very much in advance!

P.S.: Merry xmas in Ukraine!
