Actually, the way we have things set up, all of the linux guests forward their syslogs to two central syslog servers. But, not all the messages displayed on the guest console make it in to the syslog. For one thing, any CP messages are lost, and only appear in the z/VM spooled console.
We'd like to take these spooled console messages and forward them to the central syslog servers as well, so that everything is in one central location. So what we're looking for would be a syslog client that would run in CMS, accept spooled console files, tag them correctly for syslog, and then send them to port 514 on the two central servers. -- Robert P.
