Syslog replay script for centralized syslog host

L

leroy isaac

I have a need to retrieve syslog data from various remote nodes, and
the smallest network link to the remote nodes is 19K. The syslog
traffic for the link
cannot exceed 9K.

I plan to setup a configuration which generates new log files every 10
minutes. These files are then compressed, zipped, and transfered to a
centralized
loghost.

The files are then unzipped, uncompressed, and the data is inserted
into the syslog data stream on a central syslog host.

Is there a perl script or module which will accomplish this task? If
not, then does any one have any suggestions on products which may
accomplish this same
task.

Unless I'm really off, why not just configure syslogd to do remote
logging? Or are there other considerations (think security, an OS
that doesn't have/use syslogd, they aren't your machines, etc.) that
make this option not an option?

If you need to "roll your own script", visit http://search.cpan.org/
to find the various modules you might want to use to accomplish this
task.

It sounds an awful lot like you haven't done any research on this at
all and want someone to do it for you. Sorry in advance if this
isn't the case.
