CentOS - Dec 2010 - Binding rsyslogd to specific ip address

Hi all,

  Somebody knows how can I bind rsyslogd to a specific ip adress?? I have two 
different interfaces on a centos5.5 host and I need to bind rsyslog to only one.

Thanks.

Hi CL,

I looked here:
<http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Very_simple_config_--_starting_point_for_modifications>
and read this:

# -- Loading modules

$ModLoad immark
$ModLoad imudp
$ModLoad imtcp
$ModLoad imuxsock
$ModLoad imklog

# I also wanted to be able to receive syslog traffic

$UDPServerAddress 0.0.0.0
$UDPServerRun 514

Over here <http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v3compatibility.html>:
I read this:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The following example configures an UDP syslog server at the local
address 192.0.2.1 on port 514:

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerAddress 192.0.2.1 # this MUST be before the $UDPServerRun directive!
$UDPServerRun 514

"$UDPServerAddress *" means listen on all local interfaces. This is
the default if no directive is specified.

Please note that now multiple listeners are supported. For example,
you can do the following:

$ModLoad imudp
$UDPServerAddress 192.0.2.1 # this MUST be before the $UDPServerRun directive!
$UDPServerRun 514
$UDPServerAddress * # all local interfaces
$UDPServerRun 1514

These config file settings run two listeners: one at 192.0.2.1:514 and
one on port 1514, which listens on all local interfaces.
