Operating Systems Linux Syslog Server for Cisco Devices Post 302837375 by DGPickett on Thursday 25th of July 2013 03:40:38 PM

Most robust would be to have the syslog server be a broadcast address on a small subnet, where there are two LINUX boxes providing redundant syslog service. Syslog should use udp packets, so both machines will log the same packets.

Logging on every syslog server is controlled by the configuration file, which specifies key filters for each configured output file.
Man Page for syslog.conf (all Section 4) - The UNIX and Linux Forums
Man Page for syslogd (all Section 1m) - The UNIX and Linux Forums

If the syslog is configured remote, the local server should not be seeing the packets, unless it is double-logging.

I usually google for tutorials to get started.

Razor2::Syslog(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       Razor2::Syslog(3pm)

NAME
Razor2::Syslog -- Syslog support for Razor2 SYNOPSIS
use Razor2::Syslog; my $s=new Razor2::Syslog(Facility=>'local4',Priority=>'debug'); $s->send('see this in syslog',Priority=>'info'); DESCRIPTION
This module has been derived from Net::Syslog. Some optimizations were made to Net::Syslog, in particular support for keeping a socket open. What follows is the documentation for Net::Syslog, which completely applies to this module. Net::Syslog implements the intra-host syslog forwarding protocol. It is not intended to replace the Sys::Syslog or Unix::Syslog modules, but instead to provide a method of using syslog when a local syslogd is unavailable or when you don't want to write syslog messages to the local syslog. The new call sets up default values, any of which can be overridden in the send call. Keys (listed with default values) are: Name <calling script name> Facility local5 Priority err SyslogPort 514 SyslogHost 127.0.0.1 Valid Facilities are: kern, user, mail, daemon, auth, syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron, authpriv, ftp, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6 Valid Priorities are: emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug AUTHOR
