Hi, I uncommented the default actions in the rsyslogd.conf to enable a disc queue as shown in the enclosed configuration.
In order to create a condition so the client could not send to the server, I set the remote syslog server ports to ports that were *not* open on a server. Next, I sent lots of messages to syslog with, while :;do logger -t cron.crit TEST;done I expected a file to be created on disc called fwdRule1, but I could not find this with a find / -name "*fwdRule1*" Where and how should this file be? # cat /etc/rsyslog.conf $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $ModLoad imjournal # provides access to the systemd journal $WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf $OmitLocalLogging on $IMJournalStateFile imjournal.state *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages authpriv.* /var/log/secure mail.* -/var/log/maillog cron.* /var/log/cron *.emerg :omusrmsg:* uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler local7.* /var/log/boot.log $ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible) $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown $ActionQueueType LinkedList # run asynchronously $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down *.info @@(o)syslog1:3514 *.info @@(o)syslog2:4514 Best wishes, Sophie > -----Original Message----- > From: rsyslog [mailto:rsyslog-boun...@lists.adiscon.com] On Behalf Of John > Chivian > Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2018 5:18 PM > To: rsyslog@lists.adiscon.com > Subject: Re: [rsyslog] How to syslog to log to both local files (e.g > /var/log/messages) _and_ remotly to syslog server? > > > How can I add multiple IP addresses/hosts into the target = "" statement? > > You don't.
