hi there

i have a simple query . using cisco 2811 router every thing has been configure currently i am using kiwisyslog windows demon but now want to move to linux rsyslog.

using fedora 11 x64

edit this /etc/rsyslog.conf and added the below parameters. its ok for syslog configuration ?

# Provides UDP syslog reception
$ModLoad imudp.so
$UDPServerRun 514

*.* @192.168.0.5:514
local6.* -/var/log/cisco/access.log

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

looks good, but take care of the firewall. you must open port 514/udp.
