Thanks for that answer. Now, I have a question about my configuration:
Why is only syslog.log being sent to my syslog server ? In my config it's *.* @<server_ip> Thanks -----Message initial----- > De:David Lang <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > > Envoyé: mardi 30 avril 2013 12:39 > À: rsyslog-users <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > > Sujet: Re: [rsyslog] Centralized Logging and SubFolder / Directories > > On Tue, 30 Apr 2013, Thomas Macaigne wrote: > > > Hello everyone. > > > > I set up rsyslog and loganalyzer and it works wonders. > > Here are my config files: > > http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618590 <http://paste.ubuntu.com/5618590> / > > clientconf > > http://pastebin.com/M5ebsjhU <http://pastebin.com/M5ebsjhU> serverconf > > > > So the log files of clients are logged in folders named by IP. > > > > The problem is that we have multiple warehouses.
