I am trying to filter remote syslog information that is coming from Motherboard Monitor on Windows. If all I do is change syslogd startup options in /etc/rc.conf from syslogd="-u" all information is logged to /var/log/daemon. But I would really like the information be routed to something like /var/log/<hostname>.
The stock syslogd doesn't directly support this type of handling. Logging by originating host, and much more, is available in syslog-ng, available from the ports tree (/usr/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng). It can be a little tricky to get syslog-ng to co-exist with the stock syslogd, or to entirely replace it with syslog-ng. Kevin
