Systemd

Forwarding of messages to syslog is used to get logs from System daemon. Systemd is set by default so that it forwards the logs to syslog via socket. Subsequently syslog has to be configured, to forward logs to the server Logmanager.

Rsyslog

Log forwarding is enabled by default settings.

For activation follow these steps:

  • In config file /etc/systemd/journald.conf please check:

    Storage=auto
    ForwardToSyslog=yes
    
  • In config file /etc/rsyslog.conf please check:

    $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging
    
  • If you made any change in configuration files, you must restart both services:

    service restart rsyslog
    systemctl restart systemd-journald
    
  • Follow the guide in chapter Linux Rsyslog.

Syslog-NG

Log forwarding is enabled by default settings.

For activation follow these steps:

  • In config file /etc/systemd/journald.conf please check:

    Storage=auto
    ForwardToSyslog=yes
    
  • In config file /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf please check:

    source s_src {
      system();
      internal();
    };
    
  • If you made any change in configuration files, you must restart both services:
