Syslog server & netflow server 3

[kevint21]

Hello, i have setup a linux pc in work with Fedora Core 8. Does anyone know of free LINUX Syslog server software and Netflow server software so that i can view logs/data from our switched and routers on the network?

All "syslog" for linux are "free". syslogng is best for network logging capture.

Haven't a clue what netflow is, but there are plenty of syslog output filters/readers/monitors.

Check

I've used FlowScan in the past.

I like the Php-syslog-ng setup wich gives you a
PHP-driven web-interface to the syslog-ng server.

Does anyone know where i can get a 100% working download of syslogng. I have tried about 6 downloads and they all seem to be having a problem somewhere. Is their a straight forward way of installing this. I seem to run into walls everytime.

How are you trying to download/install? I'm confident that it's a package under Fedora - which would still be available via 'yum install syslogng' or '...syslog-ng'

I don't run Fedora anymore, so that's would I would have expected.

If your package management updates aren't working at all, that's a considerably larger concern.

Haven't been in RPM-land since FC3, but I think it goes something like this:
Downloaded the RPM from

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/config(syslog-ng)

install it with:

rpm -ivh syslog-ng*.rpm

and start it with

service syslog-ng start

You might need to stop and remove any excisting syslog program.
