Sys log (UNCLASSIFIED)
list Mathew T Spc Mil NG Orarng Rogers
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I recently implemented Hobbit/xymon 4.2, and have a question. I looked through the archives, and didn't find what I was looking for, so if this question has been answered previously, I apologize. My supervisor wants all server logs to stay on the web page for approximately 90 days. The desire is to use Hobbit as a syslog server as well as a monitoring tool. It seems to me that when new information is sent to the Hobbit server, all the old information is removed from the web page and put in the data directory. The question is, Is there a way to make the logs visible on the webpage (when you click on msgs for each specific server) for 90 days, while still updating the logs hourly? Thanks in advance, Mathew Rogers Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE

How many messages do you think there will be for each server? You would be much better off to create a "real" historical syslog solution, which could even be co-resident with your Xymon server. Look at syslog-NG or rsyslog, and link to MySQL or even flat files.

You may want to look at Splunk - http://www.splunk.com/ also -- just be sure to have a fairly powerful system on hand. Richard S.
