Linux Log Rotation

The effect of log rotation is to change the original log record locally to a remote device.
Implementation criteria: Two Linux hosts, one is (localhost) generate logs, another (remote host) is responsible for receiving logs in the distance

Local Host:
1. Modify the linked device into a custom name: LOCAL5

2, after saving the file is not recorded in the local, but to the LOCAL5 custom device

3, modify the Rsyslog.config file corresponding to the custom LOCAL5

4. Restart the log configuration file

Remote host (receive side):
1, modify the log configuration file, the default is not to receive foreign logs, need to modify

2, the lifting of these two lines of implementation can receive foreign logs, and specify where the incoming file exists (in advance to create this place)
