In this scenario, we want to store remote sent messages into a specific local file and forward the received messages to another syslog server. Local messages should still be locally stored. Things to think about How should this work out? Basically, we need a syslog listener for TCP and one for UDP, the local logging […]

Over time, rsyslog has replaced sysklogd in most Linux distributions (for example, Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu). So it may be worth checking if rsyslog is already the standard syslogd on […]
