应用程序的日志使用rsyslog传送

rsyslog默认只可以传送系统的日志，比如DHCP，cron等，现在要传送一个服务的日志到远端的rsyslog服务器，该怎么实现呢？

解决方法：要使用rsyslog的imfile模块。

参考官方url：http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imfile.html

rsyslog的配置文件（过滤掉了注释的内容）：

[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/rsyslog.conf  | egrep -v  "#|^$"
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                /var/log/messages
authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure
mail.*                                                  -/var/log/maillog
cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron
*.emerg                                                 *
uucp,news.crit                                          /var/log/spooler
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot.log
$ModLoad imfile
$InputFileName /usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log
$InputFileTag packetfence:
$InputFileSeverity info
$InputFileStateFile stat-packetfence
$InputFileFacility local5
$InputFilePollInterval 1
$InputFilePersistStateInterval 1
$InputRunFileMonitor
local5.*  @10.64.41.223:514
[[email protected] ~]#

修改完配置文件，重启服务

[[email protected] ~]# /etc/init.d/rsyslog  restart
Shutting down system logger:                               [  OK  ]
Starting system logger:                                    [  OK  ]
[[email protected] ~]#

红色字体是为了传送/usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log到10.64.41.223:514而新加的配置。
