How to: Setup Solaris 10 CLIENT server syslog and Solaris 10 syslog LOGGING server

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

Sun/Oracle Solaris 10 10/09, with default syslogd and syslog.conf

I need help to configure a Solaris 10 "CLIENT" server's /etc/syslog.conf to forward standard default server logs (like /var/adm/messages) to a Solaris 10 server that I also need to configure to be the "CENTRAL LOGGING SERVER" that can receive the logs from the "CLIENT".

Hoping someone has an accurate step-by-step for a the CLIENT side, and the LOGGING server side!

NOTES:

1) My syslogd is running by default:

$ svcs | grep system-log

online     10:55:24 svc:/system/system-log:default

$

2) While trying to sort through on-line sources and trying a couple things, I discovered that the /etc/syslog.conf file on both servers is the default 1991-1998 version, and so does not have some entries, such as LOG_FROM_REMOTE, and svccfg does not find the property group "config" when trying to set the log_from_remote property to true.

Howdy, Stranger!
