hi,

        i have a few machines under my care, i want to have them all log
on a machine A.  i know i can put

in syslog.conf at each of the client box.  but i would like to seperate
their logs on machine A, don't want all the clients logs ending in the
same syslog file in machine A.  any pointers or hints will be great.
Thanks a million in advance.

 - The only possibility I found was to grep the names of the machines on a
daily basis and redirect the results to a machine logfile.

I use a script:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
# Splits SYSLOG by host, run via cron
awk     '

{       host=substr($4,4)               # Unix Host
        file="/var/adm/SYSLOG." host    # Log file
        print >> file

Quote:}'</var/adm/SYSLOG
>/var/adm/SYSLOG

This is on an SGI, so you can modify for your configuration.

Also, note that this is subject to a race condition, in that records can
be added to the SYSLOG while the script is run - In practice, it has not
been much of a problem
