Let us configure Linux Client for Syslog

If Configuring Syslog Server on Linux is easy then configuring Linux Client machine for syslog is much easier.

1. Go to /etc/syslog.conf

$# vi syslog.conf

go to the the end of this file..

# INN

#

news.=crit

news.=err

news.notice

#add user here

user.* @[user] note: [user] = Syslog server ip

user.* @199.00.01.98

save the file and come out

2. Restart Syslog

$# service syslog restart

3. Give a reboot to your system..

4. Check /var/log/messages at your syslog server

your syslog server will start reciving alerts from client machine...
