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.
