The number of servers in our farm is continuing to grow. It’s becoming more and more difficult to monitor them all as closely as we would like. We decided that it’s time to set up as centralized location for log files to keep a closer eye on everything and allow us to easily develop our own reports and triggers against the logs. For this, we will be using rsyslog with a 3rd party program, LogAnalyzer. For the purposes of this document, we will assume that you already have a MySQL database configured running on a separate server.
