Hi,

we have around 50 servers in our data centre, for monitoring
I am going to configure syslog server in one of the solaris 10 server, can anyone help me to provide the steps to configure syslog in solaris 10.

Thanks
Rjs

Please go through the documentation given on different tutorials sites, one isSyslog Configuration and /etc/syslog.conf

Simpy by editing /etc/syslog.conf file, you will be able to store the log on different location.
Let us know if there is any problem while configuring the things.

Thanks,
Deepak

Try using the below mentioned line on syslog.conf place the machine name on @loghost, restart the syslogd daemon. Comment other lines.
*.* ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
