How to cnonfigure rsyslog messages into a specific port?


How can we configure the logs of rsyslog into a specific port? i have to use another Daemon which is listen to this specific port. I tried this code in configuration file. But, it not works '.@localhost:47111' and '.@127.0.0.1:47111' .The configuration file of rsyslog is as follows:

#  /etc/rsyslog.conf    Configuration file for rsyslog.
#
#           For more information see
#           /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html/rsyslog_conf.html
#
#  Default logging rules can be found in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

Solution

  • If you are using TCP, try adding given line to config

    *.* @@127.0.0.1:47111
    

    if UDP

    *.* @127.0.0.1:47111
    

    EDIT: above process will work only for remote hosts If you want to use localhost, then add given lines in config

    If TCP

    $ModLoad imtcp
    $InputTCPServerRun 47111
    

    If UPP

    $ModLoad imudp
    $UDPServerRun 47111
