EELS provides an administrative tool called eels_db_admin(1Meels) that enables you to create additional EELS databases to the one provided by default. There are a number of reasons you may want to do this. For example, you may want to store all messages from a remote host in a separate database from the one used for your local messages. To do this you would have to create a new database and table, and specify the details in a log-destination parameter block referred to by an accept-remote parameter block.
For more information on configuring remote logging, see ``Remote logging''.
To add a new database to EELS use the -c
option of eels_db_admin. For example, to add a new
database called Node_1 with a table called ``events'',
enter the following command:
eels_db_admin -c Node_1 events "Database for Node 1" \
"System Administrator"
