Forwarding AIX syslog/errorlog to remote SQL DB
Due to a project I'm currently tasked with I'm spending my time trying to find a way to forward the syslog to a remote, in this case Red Hat, server and squeezing it into a SQL DB.
Rsyslog is doing this job quite nicely for most of our test-servers, but I couldn't find any reliable information on how to do this with AIX.
I found a bare handful of posts with split opinions of "works" and "doesnt".
Would appreciate any feedback if someone has already tried this, with rsyslog or another tool and succeded.
regards

Hello,
I have a question about X forwarding. I was told that we can't X forwarding anymore, do to a security checklist.
Example:
bitlord@server1# ssh -X server2
So we have to use the DISPLAY variable now. I thought this was less secure?
Example:
bitlord@server1# xhost + server2

syslog
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.
