15.3. Configuring a server for remote logging over TCP

Procédure

1. Optional: To use a different port for rsyslog traffic, add the syslogd_port_t SELinux type to port. For example, enable port 30514:

   # semanage port -a -t syslogd_port_t -p tcp 30514

2. Optional: To use a different port for rsyslog traffic, configure firewalld to allow incoming rsyslog traffic on that port. For example, allow TCP traffic on port 30514:

   # firewall-cmd --zone=<zone-name> --permanent --add-port=30514/tcp
   success
   # firewall-cmd --reload

3. Create a new file in the /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory named, for example, remotelog.conf, and insert the following content:

   # Define templates before the rules that use them
   # Per-Host templates for remote systems
   template(name="TmplAuthpriv" type="list") {
       constant(value="/var/log/remote/auth/")
       property(name="hostname")
       constant(value="/")
       property(name="programname" SecurePath="replace")
       constant(value=".log")
       }
   
   template(name="TmplMsg" type="list") {
       constant(value="/var/log/remote/msg/")
       property(name="hostname")
       constant(value="/")
       property(name="programname" SecurePath="replace")
       constant(value=".log")
       }
   
   # Provides TCP syslog reception
   module(load="imtcp")
   
   # Adding this ruleset to process remote messages
   ruleset(name="remote1"){
        authpriv.*   action(type="omfile" DynaFile="TmplAuthpriv")
         *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none
   action(type="omfile" DynaFile="TmplMsg")
   }
   
   input(type="imtcp" port="30514" ruleset="remote1")

4. Save the changes to the /etc/rsyslog.d/remotelog.conf file.

5. Tester la syntaxe du fichier /etc/rsyslog.conf:

   # rsyslogd -N 1
   rsyslogd: version 8.1911.0-2.el8, config validation run...
   rsyslogd: End of config validation run. Bye.

6. Make sure the rsyslog service is running and enabled on the logging server:

   # systemctl status rsyslog

7. Restart the rsyslog service.

   # systemctl restart rsyslog

8. Optional: If rsyslog is not enabled, ensure the rsyslog service starts automatically after reboot:

   # systemctl enable rsyslog
