remote syslog

[Tim Holmes]

Hello All:

I am trying to use one of my linux boxes to get information from my
foundry switches (and eventually a lot of other gear) using the syslog
facility.  This will be in addition to SNMP which I am already using via
CACTI

I have managed to configure things so that the messages are heading to
/var/logs/messages, but I cannot seem to get them to go to the device
specific files that I have designated.

Here is a copy of my /etc/syslog.conf file

# Log all kernel messages to the console.
# Logging much else clutters up the screen.
#kern.*                                                 /dev/console

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none
/var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*                                                  /var/log/maillog


# Log cron stuff
cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages
*.emerg                                                 *

# Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file.
uucp,news.crit                                          /var/log/spooler

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*
/var/log/boot.log

#send messages from Lancelot to Lancelot.log
192.168.0.225.*
/var/log/lancelot.log


#send messages from tristan. tristan.log
192.168.0.231.*
/var/log/tristan.log
tristan.*
/var/log/tristan.log



If anyone can help me out, what I would like is for each device to have
its own separate log file, and then I need suggestions on how to
properly view them etc
