Q & A

Building a centralized log host in your network will ease the process of troubleshooting your servers from a single window.Centralized log host will accepts all the log messages from client and store in that server.So here are trying to configure a centralized log host using Syslog to accept log messages from client servers.

Server side configuration:
edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog to receive logs from remote hosts
Add -r option in SYSLOGD_OPTIONS

Then  enable syslog on startup if it is not.

Restart the service

#chkconfig syslog on
#service syslog restart
