Here's what works for me: 1. Go to /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog and add the "-r" option to the parameters for rsyslogd (as far as I know, the "-r" option has been obsoleted some time ago, and is replaced by 2., so just try or read the manpages). 2. Go to /etc/rsyslogd.conf and let the daemon listen on UDP port 514: $ModLoad imudp $UDPServerRun 514 3. Go to /etc/rsyslog.d and create an empty file. Write this into it: :source, isequal, "sunshine" /var/log/tomato.log :source, isequal, "sunshine" ~ Replace "sunshine" with your routers name, or use its IP. 4. Restart rsyslogd: systemctl restart syslog.service That's it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
