Hello,
Thanks sir for quick reply.
you probably want Eucalyptus to send it's logs to rsyslog with the syslog
protocol, not have them written to disk.
Correct. You catch my thoughts right.
/var/log is the traditional location for writing logs to disk for humans
to find later.
If you are intending for Eucalyptus to write it's logs somewhere, and then
for rsyslog to then find the logs and send them elsewhere, there is no
'standard' place for such logs to be. I would put them wherever it's
'standard' to have them in Eucalyptus configs and then configure rsyslog to
find them there (this would be imfile coniguration), but as I noted above,
it's far better to write directly to syslog rather than going to disk first.

I get your point sir.
"far better to write directly to syslog" Would you please illustrate this
point more?? it will be a great help.
As far I understand, you want me to make configuration in
/etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf file or any eyucalyptus log related files
to directly send logs to rsyslog server.
Directly to some syslog server, it may be the syslog server running on the same
box as eucylyptus is running on, or it could be the remote syslog server. It
depends on what options the eucalyptus logging configuration gives you.
There is usually some option to tell major software packages to write to syslog
instead of (or as well as) writing to files, without digging into your
particular software, I can't tell you exactly how to configure it to do this.
Usually, software will just send to syslog on the local box, and then you can
configure rsyslog to forward the logs elsewhere, write them locally, or some
combination of things.
