In our company, we are planning to use syslog-ng for the Centralized log aggregation. We have logs coming from Network devices and 100's of *nix systems(client) produces log files which sent it to this Centralized server.
2 doubts.
- What level of permission i need to have on client and Centralized server so that i can send and receive the logs
- Do I need to have special permission to read audit.log files on the *nix client machine.
I read an article sometime back which says, create a user and group named logger and add adm,sys,syslog to the group.
Whether the permissions are enough or am i still missing something here? On our test env I can see adm user but users sys and syslog are missing.
