    Hi!

     

     

    Under /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

     

     

    You need to modify the configuration where it says:

     

     

     

     

    destination d_ltm {

     

    file("/var/log/ltm" create_dirs(yes));

     

     

    to something like:

     

     

    destination d_ltm {

     

    udp("x.x.x.x");

     

    file("/var/log/ltm" create_dirs(yes));

     

     

    This is assuming that what you are looking for is logging to var/log/ltm

     

     

    Once you make the change you need to do a bigstart restart syslog

     

     

    I would be careful doing this on a production system!
