rsyslog is a service for managing system logs. It works as a daemon, providing tools to collect messages and send them to a storage location.

Functions of rsyslog:

• Receive messages
• Filter and sort messages — determine their priority and type
• Store messages — write them to specific files or forward them to a remote server

The system is highly configurable: you can set it to save any type of message to any file.
rsyslog can receive and transmit logs over the syslog protocol across a network, using both TCP and UDP through the standard port 514.

Scripts for integrating SCAT logs with syslog and systemd units for their execution:

• parser.bash — monitors SCAT logs and converts them to rsyslog format using the logger module.
• bng_logmon.service — systemd units to launch the scripts.
• bng.conf — an example configuration for sending logs to a remote server, which can be used as is or modified for more flexible settings.

• A running fastdpi process — it generates log entries, required for the SSG message-sending scripts.
• A running rsyslog daemon.

1. Install bnglogmon:

   yum install bnglogmon

2. Edit the file /etc/rsyslog.d/bng.conf — specify the server address and the sender’s IP address (if necessary, provide a specific IP).
3. Enable automatic startup of bnglogmon at system boot:

   systemctl enable bnglogmon.service

1. Start bnglogmon:

   systemctl start bnglogmon.service

2. Restart rsyslog:

   systemctl restart rsyslog.service

The rsyslog daemon is configured according to the settings described in its official documentation.
