Hi,

I would like to configure syslog linux client, syslog server is windows server.

so adding on linux client in /etc/syslog.conf @hostname will work in the place of directory location.

example of /etc/syslog.conf
# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.* @winodwshost

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none @winodwshost


# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.* @winodwshost


# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.* @winodwshost



# Log cron stuff
cron.* @winodwshost






but since syslog server is windows , so adding @hostname in linux /etc/syslog.conf will work? or addition configuration needs to done.

my requirement is linux log messages should be sent to windows syslog server.

please suggest.

This will work, as long as the Windows syslog server windowshost is resolvable by DNS or /etc/hosts (or whatever naming services you're using) and the syslog server is listening on port 514/udp. Kiwi Syslog on Windows works fine for this, and I've used it many times previously.

BTW: Please use code tags to make your configuration/code/etc. more readable.

Many Many Thanks zazzybob.
