Feroda logs

[templier]

Hello.

Does anyone have experience with what is reflected in the subject question (Journalctl logs)?
I must copy the security log with Fedora Journalctl.

But which side to approach him, I do not know yet

systemd will send events to syslog. Which should write out to /var/log/..
enable in
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
set
ForwardToSyslog=yes
rsyslog appears to have a listener configured (on centos at least) in
/etc/rsyslog.d/listen.conf
$SystemLogSocketName /run/systemd/journal/syslog
I guess you will need to restart the service
systemctl restart systemd-journald

Hi templier,

your biggest trouble here is the binary format of the journalctl logs. Quick and dirty solutions would be:

• run a wrapper for journalctl -f into a log file and monitor that in Splunk
• or read this https://medium.com/coreos-linux-for-massive-server-deployments/coreos-logging-to-remote-destinations... where they use ncat to send journalctl output directly into Splunk

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

Hi.

Yes, both options are not perfect, but it seems if there is no other choice on them have to stop.
Now looking information whether it is possible simultaneously to configure logging to files (similar secure.log)

Thank you.
