Dear all, I have a Debian 9 machine and want to receive and store logs from an external hardware devices (SIP-ISDN gateways for instance). The gateway type supports remote logging via syslog.
I have checked and tried a number of tutorials, but none of them made my fully happy. What I want to achieve is: Keep the local logging and files untouched Write the remote logs in distinct directories But, whatever I tried so far, I had remote logging messages also in /var/log/syslog or the local logs were written to /var/log/%THE_LOCAL_HOSTNAME%/ ... So, apparently, my rsyslog configs so far did not correctly distinguish between local and remote. Consider the following tutorial: https://www.tecmint.com/install-rsyslog-centralized-logging-in-centos-ubuntu/ If I use that configuration, the problem is that the logs of the local machine are also written into a directory meant for the remote logs. Any hints?
