Hi,
We are in the process of creating a centralized log server to monitor
machines' log files. I would like to know gurus best practice doing such
thing.
- What kind of facilities.level messages you guys direct to the log
server ? (kernel.notice, auth.*, .....All ? )
- How do you guys organize log file(s) on the log server ? do you guys
forward all messages to a single file on the log server or create
multiple log files ?
- Do you guys use additional tools to ensure that you monitor every
message from process/daemons/kernel..... ?
- What are the tools you guys use to check/analyze/monitor log files ?
Any GUI tools out there? I heard that there is a tool called logwatch
but not sure if it is the best thing to use !
- Any document/URL describes steps to create a log server and best
practice creating a log server?
Appreciate your help and will summarize.
Levi
