# How to install rsyslog
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rsyslog is used to gather logs from distributed server nodes on one central server node where they were stored in log files. In our installation, __all nodes__ are sending their log __to the storage node__.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The (r)syslog daemon is installed by default on ubuntu min. > 12.04 and centos min. > 6.5.
