Logging from an occasional connect network device (syslog)
0
I am trying to sort out logging from laptop running Ubuntu to a central logging server (loghost) When the laptop is plugged in the network everything works as expected, log messages are forwarded from the laptop to the loghost. As soon as the laptop is disconnected, errors are issued about being unable to connect to loghost. Is there anyway of configuring syslog to say something like, Log everything locally with out error if you can find a connection to a remote loghost. As soon as you find a connection remote loghost transfer all logged messages to remote loghost My idea is that as soon as laptop is plugged in I scan looking for an issues in the same that I can look for issues on any other device of the network. If syslog can not do this, is there an alternative software package ?
