I want to have logs written locally (the way they usually
are) as well as sent to a central logger.
The two situations that I want local logs for are:
1) in case the central logger is not available for any
reason, I don't lose messages
2) if I need to troubleshoot something, I can just look at
the local logs
Obviously, I will rotate the local logs and have older ones
discarded. Whereas the central logger will archive them for
longer periods.
Can I accomplish this with rsyslog? AIUI, I can, and I have
to move to at least v3.11.x -- is that correct?
Assuming yes, I already got the remote logging working. What
do I do to get the simultaneous local logging to work too?
I can't find any wiki or faq on this. If I get it working,
I'd be happy to post it on the site.
