Syslog setup
On a CentOS machine take these steps to get the FB to log to /var/log/local0
Server Side
- Enable syslog to receive messages from the network:
- in /etc/sysconfig/syslog, add -r to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS
- Set up a syslog facility:
- in /etc/syslog.conf add local0.* -/var/log/local0
- Set up logrotate to process the log file (not essential, but useful):
- in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog add /var/log/local? to the first line of files
restart syslog service
FireBrick Side
On the FireBrick, add/edit the syslog line as follows:
<syslog server="ip.of.your.server" severity="NOTICE" facility="LOCAL0"/>You can set the severity to log more (eg set to DEBUG), but then you'll get a log line every second! See the Docs for more info.
If you then tail /var/log/local0 you'll see log messages
