Lab 2.2

Including authpriv events in rsyslog

In your client config, ensure you add:

user.notice @172.16.50.5:514
# New (vv)
authpriv.* @172.16.50.5:514

Drop-in config for log01

Instead of modifying /etc/rsyslog.conf, we created /etc/rsyslog.d/03-sec350.conf:

module(load="imudp")
input(type="imudp "port="514" ruleset="RemoteDevice)
template(name="DynFile" type="string"
string="/var/log/remote-syslog/%HOSTNAME%/%$YEAR%.%$MONTH%.%$DAY%.%PROGRAMNAME%.log"
)
ruleset(name="RemoteDevice"){
action(type="omfile" dynaFile="DynFile")
}

And, make sure to re-disable the base rsyslog listening on port 514 (in /etc/rsyslog.conf)
