Alcatel Unleashed

hello i am using rsylog server on linux . i am trying to send to my linux machine all logs from alcatel 6850 There is two database on linux machine first for native linux syslogs and second is for all for routers.Switches sending according to their hostname . Cisco routers are sending their logs to rsyslog properly. i changed alcatel 6850 session prompt name as "alcatel" but it sending their log to other native linux database as hostname "SUN" how can send to rsrylog alcatel 6850 logs to my linux box.


thanx for help

hello

What do you exactly want to do ?
if you want to send syslog message use command

swlog output socket <ip of linux>

and to identify use for exemple loopback ip
via
254=> show ip managed-interface

Legend: "-" denotes no explicit configuration

Application Interface-Name
-----------------+----------------------
tacacs -
sflow -
ntp -
syslog -
dns -
telnet -
ssh -
tftp -
ldap-server -
radius -
snmp -
ftp -

ip managed-interface command

Perhaps it will help you to identify source-ip to match to your syslog db

thanx for reply cedric1.i used "swlog output socket <ip of linux>" command.but alcatel not sending its own hostname to rsyslog but cisco switches sendind their hostname to linux.i am not sure "session prompt default" equal to "hostname" command.but i changed my software rsyslog to syslog-ng .now all switches can send as their own ip address
no hostname no problem.
