Hi all!
I'm still googling for this, but after quite a while I'm no closer, so
I figured I'd ask you guys:
I've got my router using syslog on my centos box to log the router's
system events. Works fine.
however, it mixes 'em into /var/log/messages along with the messages
from the Centos box itself.
is there a way to separate them into itsown (set of??) files? So far
I've not come up with anything.
Thanks in advance!
Fred
PS: We're speaking of Centos 5.7 here.

My solution was to deinstall syslog and install syslog-ng, it's supports separation based on IP, name, etc.. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

So far > I've not come up with anything.Every syslog daemon I know of (even good old syslogd classic) is able to direct messages to different files depending on their facility and priority. Most routers send their messages with one of the "local" facilities (local0 .. local7), though it's frequently neither documented nor configurable, at least with the cheap consumer grade models. OTOH, on a typical CentOS system little else uses the local* facility. So chances are if you configure your syslog daemon to log all of the local* facilities to a file /var/log/router and not to /var/log/messages you'll end up with just the router messages in /var/log/router.
