How to configure the Appliance to redirect the syslog to another monitoring server?

Answer

To redirect the syslog to another monitoring server follow the steps below:

1. Add the following lines to the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file, substituting "remotehost.com" with the FQDN of the syslog server or it's IP address:

destination d_udp { udp("remotehost.com" port(514)); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mailinfo); destination(d_udp); };

2. Restart the syslog for the changes to take effect:

# service syslog restart
