Hello,

We have 16 linux and 6 HP-UX servers generating thousands of lines
syslog messages per a day.

I want to collect all syslog messages from these servers to a central
syslog server and store them in seperate files for detailed analysis. I
want to use on-the-fly "tail -f" style tracking over log files.

For example :

Syslog messages from server "host01" > /var/log/messages.host1
Syslog messages from server "host02" > /var/log/messages.host2

What is the "Generally Accepted and Recommended" method for this task?
Which syslog daemon and/or log analyser should I use?

I have these utilities from RHELAS3U4 official distribution packages :

logrotate-3.6.9-1.i386.rpm
logwatch-4.3.2-2.noarch.rpm
redhat-logviewer-0.9.3-5.noarch.rpm
sysklogd-1.4.1-12.1.i386.rpm

Are these sufficient?

Thanx in advance.
