kickstart syslog

[VCPGuru]

I would like to integrate in my %post script my syslog server.

I want that my esx host has under /etc/syslog.conf the following entry:

. @192.168.1.1

how could i do that? any help would be appreciated!

Put something like this in your Post-Script

1. Log to central syslog server

esxcfg-firewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog

echo "" >>/etc/syslog.conf

echo "# Send everything to central syslog server" >>/etc/syslog.conf

echo ". @192.168.1.1" >>/etc/syslog.conf

service syslog restart
