Hi team, a customer told me to install syslog server to check only server log from all devices inside his lan
I don’t remember which function I have to activate to allow checkmk to do it and, where is possible to see log server.
Could you help me to do it ?
Many thanks in advanced for your time .
Awaiting your news.
Paolo
Hi @espositop,
i think you want to enable mkeventd, with “omd config SITENAME” and then in Addons you can do it.
But all devices have to send the syslogs to the checkmk server!
And you should create rules to manage the syslog events, could be a lot!
Hi,
checkmk is not a real syslog server but it is able to create events from incoming syslog messages with the event console.
So if you want a syslog solution to store your syslog messages you should use something like graylog, ELK Stack or splunk.
I disagree. The “solutions” you listed are complex and in some cases, quite limited. Sure, you can add “yet another” whatever to your infrastructure, but the feature is there in Checkmk and it does work and it has features that “work well” with Checkmk.
YMMV. If you like big headaches, ELK, graylog, Splunk, based stuff is certainly something you can deploy though. My experience is with ELK and Splunk.
Many thanks for your reply,
I will use splunk as syslog server.
Tks,
