Hi Carlos (Greatt List)

Excellent added your additions and run netstat command which now works.

chuck:/var/log # netstat -a | egrep syslog
udp 0 0 *:syslog *:*


Good. :-)

Next tasks as I see that the syslog client's mail is in my /var/log/mail
So any steps me in the right direction to for my external log sources in a
separated file as you mentioned.
Thus my proof concept is working and I am going "Now" create the setup on one
of are dormant web servers
which I will install MailGraph for graph reports on are mail server as I am
not allowed to add any more load on are postfix mail server.


The above sets syslog to listen to remote syslog clients, but it is up to
them so send long entries: that will depend on them. Right now I don't
know how to tell postfix to log externally.

When you do receive those, well, it's just a question of filtering to the
appropiate places. Perhaps first log everything, like:


destination external_all { file("/var/log/external_all_messages"); };
log { source(ext); destination(external_all); };


Then filter whatever you want; take the local filters as a guide.
