= Dependencies incomplete yet. == System * ruby >= 1.9 (tested: 1.9.1, untested: 1.8 (maybe compatible)) * libdb >= 4 (tested: 4.7) * C-Compiler === Debian/Ubuntu: # aptitude ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev libdb4.7-dev rubygems1.9.1 If you've installed ruby1.8 (yet), you should run ruby1.9.1 instead ruby and gem1.9.1 instead gem. Change shebash in s2l.rb to #!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 == Ruby Gems * BDB >= 0.2.2 (patch needed - gem included) * UUIDTools Install: (in syslog2logan-dir) # gem install bdb-0.2.2.gem uuidtools = Install # gem build syslog2logan.gemspec # gem install syslog2logan-*.gem = Usage == Start Simple: # ./s2l.rb Or deamonized: # sh -c 'nohup ./s2l.rb /dev/null 2>&1 &' & == Use it Your Syslog-server should send everythin via tcp to port 1514. UDP and TLS aren't possible yet. If you want to use any of these, you can proxy it via a local syslog-ng. === syslog-ng You need these lines: source s_server { unix-stream( "/dev/log" max-connections(100)); # internal(); # Statistics about dests. You've any other dest than the server? file( "/proc/kmsg"); }; destination d_server { tcp( "SyslogServer.example.org" port (1514)); }; log { source( s_server); destination( d_server); }; You should use your default source. === rsyslog I don't know. Please tell me, if you can.
