you edit rsyslog.conf to have it write the logs somewhere else

where? i already tried with the string "if $fromhost-ip startswith 'ip
source' then 'destination folder'" && 'second path' or adding a new string
under that like:

 "if $fromhost-ip startswith 'ip source' then 'destination folder'"
 "if $fromhost-ip startswith 'ip source' then 'new destination folders'"
& ~

but only the first one is working. I did something wrong?

this is completely up to you and your organization, there are so may ways
to do
it that there is not a simple 'best practices'

with that sort of volume, I like to rotate the logs frequently (I've even
done
every minute) so that when I need to search the files I can limit the
search and
none of the files get huge.

if i have to rotate frequently and i have to keep it for 6 months, i must
calculate the exact number of rotation to add in the logrotate conf under
the rotate parameter? or there is a easier way?

what do you do with these logs? are you commonly looking at subsets of
them? or
do you just keep them because the policy says you should?

are just for policy

how do you back these up? how do you replicate them offsite? (encrypting
them
and storing them in AWS S3 as class Glacier is cheap, highly redundant
storage,
but it costs if you actually need to retrieve the data, so it's great for a
'just in case' archive, but not for an archive that you commonly use)

this is the backup :), luckily is a just in case server
