Title: Send HG logs to syslog server
Post by: KaZe on January 05, 2016, 09:51:19 AM

Hi!

I have a syslog server (Syslog watcher 4). Is that possible to send HG logs to syslog server?

And I use HG on Ubuntu 15 linux.

You can do this:

1) Enable Log File in HG configuration
2) Forward the log file to the remote syslog using syslog-ng

Log file is located in /usr/local/bin/homegenie/log -> homegenie.log
To read and forward the file to syslog (or remote syslog) look this guide:

http://www.syslog.org/logged/reading-logs-from-a-file-in-syslog-ng/ (http://www.syslog.org/logged/reading-logs-from-a-file-in-syslog-ng/)

I'm using this in Debian, but also applies to Ubuntu :)

I was able to configure it :) Works fine.
