(under construction!)

This page describes how to install and configure the syslog-ng package that the CEDPS project developed for the Virtual Data Toolkit (VDT). This package can be used alone (ie: no other VDT services running), but it does depend on many other components in VDT.

First you must install pacman: 

wget http://physics.bu.edu/pacman/sample_cache/tarballs/pacman-latest.tar.gz
tar xvzf pacman-latest.tar.gz
cd pacman-version
source setup.csh

Then install the OSG:Syslog-ng package: 

mkdir /opt/OSG
cd /opt/OSG
pacman -get OSG:Syslog-ng

To configure/start a syslog-ng sender, do this: 

source /opt/OSG/setup.csh
$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_syslog_ng_sender --local-collector myloghost.foo.gov
$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_syslog_ng_sender --add-source "/tmp/testfile"
$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_syslog_ng_sender --server y
vdt-control --on syslog-ng-sender

To configure/start a syslog-ng receiver, do this: 

$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_syslog_ng_receiver --server y
$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/setup/configure_syslog_ng_receiver --dir /opt/osg-logs
vdt-control --on syslog-ng-receiver
