1.Rsyslog介绍 Rsyslog is Rocket-fast System for Log processing.Rsyslog是CentOS6系列默认的日志处理软件。Rsyslog基于模块化设计，提供高性能，安全的日志处理系统。Rsyslog是多线程的，支持TCP,UDP,TLS,RELP.Rsyslog实际上syslog的一个增强版本。
2.安装Rsyslog
CentOS下默认已经安装了rsyslog 查看rsyslog运行状态
$service rsyslog status rsyslogd (pid 7542) is running...
$ ps -ef|grep rsyslog|grep -v grep root 1014 1 0 2014 ? 00:15:09 /sbin/rsyslogd -i /var/run/syslogd.pid -c 5
这里-c 5 是在/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog中定义的 $ cat /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog # Options for rsyslogd # Syslogd options are deprecated since rsyslog v3. # If you want to use them, switch to compatibility mode 2 by "-c 2" # See rsyslogd(8) for more details SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-c 5"
3.配置rsyslog
rsyslog的配置文件/etc/rsyslog.conf # rsyslog v5 configuration file # For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html # If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html #### MODULES #### $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd) #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability # Provides UDP syslog reception #$ModLoad imudp #$UDPServerRun 514 # Provides TCP syslog reception #$ModLoad imtcp #$InputTCPServerRun 514 #### GLOBAL DIRECTIVES #### # Use default timestamp format $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat # File syncing capability is disabled by default.

$ cat /etc/rsyslog.conf|grep -v -E "^#|^$" $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $ModLoad imklog # provides kernel logging support (previously done by rklogd) $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat $IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages authpriv.* /var/log/secure mail.* -/var/log/maillog cron.* /var/log/cron *.emerg * uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler local7.* /var/log/boot.log
配置格式如下：
日志类型.日志级别 日志处理方式
日志类型 | 说明 |
|---|---|
auth | pam模块产生的日志 |
authpriv | ssh,sftp等的登录验证信息 |
cron | 定时任务相关日志 |
kernel |
