Administration Guide

Log on to the target device (as a super user)

Open /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file with a text editor (e.g VI).

Add source information to file. See example below:

FreeBSD:

source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log"); internal ();};

Linux: (will gather both system and kernel logs)

source src {
internal();
unix-stream("/dev/log" keep-alive(yes) max-connections(100));
pipe("/proc/kmsg");
udp();
};

Add destination information (in this case, the Zenoss server). See example below:

log { source(src); destination(zenoss); };
