is there any way i can syslog one same log to 2 syslog servers?

i tried out with the following settings:

Code: Select all

local7.=info                            /home/mylog/log1
local7.=info                            @server1.com

local6.=info                            /home/mylog/log1
local6.=info                            @server2.com


but log is only syslog-ed to server1 and not server2

where did i make the mistake?


i tried with

Code: Select all

local7.=info                            /home/mylog/log1
local7.=info                            @server1.com,server2.com


or

Code: Select all

local7.=info                            /home/mylog/log1
local7.=info                            @server1.com
local7.=info                            @server2.com


too but failed..

I am not sure if the default unix syslog daemon is able to. But you should take a look to our free advanced syslog server for unix based systems called rsyslog, which is able to do a lot more then just logging to two other syslog servers.
