Presentation

Time/Room	Saturday   11:00   Haskell-115	Capacity	40	Duration	1.50 hr
Title	Centralized Logging with syslog-ng and SEC	Category	Sysadmin
Speaker	Leon Towns-von Stauber	Sponsor	Intelius
Details	There's a wealth of useful information being logged by your systems, but very often it's distributed and not readily visible. This talk shows you what's involved in setting up a central loghost to aggregate and effectively utilize all of that data. We'll consider replacement of the stock syslogd with syslog-ng, and detail the use of Simple Event Correlator (SEC) to reduce and correlate the volume of log messages to a set that can alert you to urgent problems and give you a much better feel for what's happening on your network.
