[2] | To transfer logging data to remote Hosts, Configure like follows. |
###### on Syslog Server Host (receives logging data from other Hosts) ###### root@dlp:~# vi /etc/rsyslog.conf # line 20-21 : uncomment
line 22 : set allowed hosts to connect
module(load="imtcp")

systemctl restart rsyslog
###### on Sender Host (sends logging data to Syslog Server Host) ###### root@node01:~# vi /etc/rsyslog.conf # add to the end action(type="omfwd" queue.filename="fwdRule_dlp.srv.world" queue.maxdiskspace="1g" queue.saveonshutdown="on" queue.type="LinkedList" action.resumeRetryCount="-1" Target="dlp.srv.world" Port="514" Protocol="tcp") # queue.filename : queue filename # queue.maxdiskspace : maxdiskspace for queue # queue.saveonshutdown=on : save queue data on disk when system shutdown # queue.type=LinkedList : asynchronous queue which can store 10,000 messages # action.resumeRetryCount=-1 : continue to retry sending when syslog server does not respond # Target=*** : specify syslog server Host
root@node01:~# systemctl restart rsyslog
