Look at the `+hostname' specification in syslog.conf(5). You can use
something like this:
+host1
*.* /var/log/remote/host1/messages
+host2
*.* /var/log/remote/host2/messages
in your `syslog.conf' file.
Please note that adding this to the end of the syslog.conf file will
not inhibit logging of the same messages to /var/log/messages or any
other matches found earlier. Thus, this syslog.conf file:
*.* /var/log/messages
+foo
*.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages
Will log the messages from host `foo' both in /var/log/messages *AND*
/var/log/remote/foo/messages.
To make syslogd log the messages from host `foo' only in
/var/log/remote/foo/messages you'd have to use something like this:
-foo
*.* /var/log/messages
+foo
*.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages
Multiple hosts can be specified like this:
-foo,bar
*.* /var/log/messages
+foo
*.* /var/log/remote/foo/messages
+bar
*.* /var/log/remote/bar/messages
