You can easily use shell scripting to separate the logs for the individual
routers.
We use something similar to the following:
echo Sorting Log Files:
cat /var/log/remote.log |grep routername >> /var/log/cisco/routername
rm -f /var/log/remote.log
killall -HUP syslogd
Hope this helps!

Subject: How to setup syslog server [7:23501]
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to setup a syslog server so that I can log messages from cisco
routers and switches. I am running this syslog on a Linux box.
Since syslog is a standard feature of unix/linux, I am pretty happy with it,
given my disdain for Microssoft.
By default syslog server on Linux refuses to accept remoting logging from
other devices other than itself. I modify this by turning on the
-r option. This make the Linux machine to accept remote logging.
My problem is that the syslog messages from Cisco routers and switches are
logged into the same file (/var/log/messages) that the Linux machines logs
its own system messages. How can I separate the messages between the two?
Thanks.
