On Eduardo's second point, I agree that having local logs is helpful. I generally modify the syslog postscript to simply append the forward to the existing syslog.conf.

Great! Now that I have the correct file in hands, my thoughts: If I
understood correctly, the syslog postscript moves the default
configuration to <filename>.XCATORIG and replaces it with a single
instruction that forwards every log entry to the Management Node using
UDP connection.
Now, I have two points: 1) I would like to use TCP (or even RELP)
instead of UDP. TCP is more reliable than UDP and RELP is more reliable
than TCP (but bandwidth consumption may grow a little). In addition, we
should *append* the forward instruction to the config file instead of
replacing it. Keeping record of everything locally is important most
cases.
Are those reasonable thoughts?
