Hi 

I have a device (firewall) which on reset, looses all its logs. I have set the 
zenoss IP as the remote syslog server, with the intention that it will offload 
the logs to zenoss. Problem is that I do not know what to put in the 
/etc/syslog.conf file on my zenoss machine to make it recieve the logs and 
place them into the correct log file for archiving. the code I have currently 
which does not work is as follows:

Code:

#firewall to firewall log
+...@firewall              # host is the name of the machine that sends messages
*.*     /var/log/firewall.log
+*              # resets the log source specification...




The name of the machine should be firewall, but i cant find where the log 
messages are currently going (would assume /var/log/messages but i dont see any 
entries.

I am pretty sure the server is listeing for messages:

Code:

[r...@zenoss log]# netstat -a |grep syslog
udp        0      0 *:syslog                *:*




any idea what I am doing wrong? Zenoss is already set up to receive some sort 
of events from the firewall, as it tells me when the IP goes down and also some 
messages that are in the system log.


What I want to find is the raw logs. Any idea where they would be?

thanks
