Hello,
First off, I am a Linux newbie so please explain answers in great detail so I can understand.
Basics:
I am trying to use Rsyslog, MySql, and LogCon to create a IPtables log viewer that give more detail than the basic setup. Something similar to CheckPoint log viewer. I setup the basics to ensure it works and it does. LogCon see the messages in the database.
System Configurations:
Firewall
Ubuntu Jaunty (stipped down version for virtual install)
Rsyslog 4.4.2
IPtables 1.4.1.1-4
Management
Ubuntu Jaunty
Rsyslog 4.4.2
FWbuilder 3.07
PHP5
MySQL5
LogCon 2.8.0
Basic Setup:
I configured the firewall's Rsyslog to parse only firewall rules and send them to the management station. The management station then sends them to the default Syslog database, configured by Rsyslog. LogCon can view these logs via the default setup.
Customization:
I configured a custom database with the fields that I wanted to capture. I then created a Rsyslog template to push those messages into the custom DB in the correct fields (This all works fine). I then setup a new site for LogCon with Admin Panel enabled. I then configured a new source, custom fields, views, and DBmappings to match the database.
Issues:
1. When I view the events (with my original source which has TableType=MonitorWare), I see all the custom fields with my custom view but no data. All the rows are empty.
2. I changed the source to use my custom DBmappings (TableType=ELF Mapping). Now when I try to view events, I get "no syslog records found".
Questions:
1. Does LogCon support what I am trying to do? As far as I can tell, that was one of the major features for V2.7 release.
2. Where are the configurations saved? I know since I enabled the Admin Panel, the custom configs are in the tables in the database. What about the config.php file. Is that still used? Does something have to be modified in that?
Thanks
