Using EELS

Customizing the originating host

To customize remote logging on an originating host:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Edit /etc/default/eels and find the log-destination parameter block you want to modify. For example, if you wanted to modify EELS so that all ``default'' log destinations are redirected to a destination host, modify the ``log-destination default'' parameter block. An example of a ``log-destination default'' parameter block is shown below:
    log-destination default {
        database  defaultdb;
        table     events;
    }
    

  3. Comment out the database and table parameters by preceding them with a ``#'' symbol.

  4. Add a hostname parameter to the bottom of the block followed by the name of the destination host. The name can either be a name that can be resolved by DNS or the server's IP address. For example, if the IP address of the destination host was ``192.168.24.33'', the resulting log-destination parameter block would be:
    log-destination default {
    #    database  defaultdb;
    #    table     events;
         hostname  192.168.24.33
    }
    

  5. Save the changes you have made to /etc/default/eels.
The changes will not take effect until you restart EELS. However, you should not restart EELS until you have customized the destination host.
