XenServer log files.
-
I've been setting up a central logging server for this weeks project. It's a week long project I just completed, yay for things not breaking this week.
Anyway, I was looking at an ssh session to the one XenServer host we have, going, "Where'd rsyslog go?" Turns out I was making life harder than it needed to be. Just use the GUI. Much as I dislike relying on a GUI, it's just easy.

What are you trying to do?
Some of that stuff doesn't work, and it's all been changed in XS7 anyway.

Just forward the logging messages to a single place. When something stops working I have one spot to go looking for the problems, and can easily find it by searching for a hostname from the /var/log/messages file on my rsyslog host server.

Oh, that will definitely work, then.

Good information for me as I'm in the process of learning XenServer (although its 7)
