Logging to More Than One Management Station

Logging to More Than One Management Station



With FireWall-1 NG, you can specify more than one log host in your gateway object.

If $FWDIR/conf/masters (or $FWDIR/conf/loggers in 4.0 SP3 and above) contains:

compassion communicator

Then logging will only occur to compassion, not communicator. That is the expected behaviour. Versions 3.0 and later support logging to multiple management consoles by putting a "plus" before each entry after the first in the masters file. For instance, to send logs to both compassion and communicator, your masters file will look like:

compassion +communicator

Note this also allows "communicator" to be able to manage the firewall module. If you only want to send logs, use the file $FWDIR/conf/loggers (present in 4.0 SP3 and above) instead, using the same format.
