Sending email via syslog-ng
Hi friends
I have syslog-ng installed in RHEL5 server, I make it as CEntral log for all servers in my network, Filtered by IP
Now What I want to do is make it send to me an email for a specific log for one of my server, In other word when any log sent from this IP (192.168.1.1 ) For example to send me email with this new log value to myemail@mydomain.com
The following is the part of configuration for my syslog-ng.conf that related with remote servers.
=============================================

source s_remote {
tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};

destination d_separatedbyhosts {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng/servers/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" owner("root") group("root") perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes));
};

log { source(s_remote); destination(d_separatedbyhosts); };
===============================================

Thanks
Best Regards
Reaky

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
