Is it possible to export FreePBX logs to syslog?

That helped me, too, thought I’d add my 2cents.

(the part that I’m assuming, but adding for posterity):

edit /etc/rsyslog.conf

vi /etc/rsyslog.conf

Search for remote, uncoment the .@remotehost and change remotehost to the ip or fqdn of your syslog server.

If your syslog server is listening on udp/514:

 # remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional    
 *.* @syslogd.domain.com:514

If your syslog serber is listening on tcp/514

 # remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional    
 *.* @@syslogd.domain.com:514

Note that @@ will use tcp, while @ will use udp.

Add full to syslog:

edit the file:

vi /etc/logrotate.d/syslog

add:

/var/log/asterisk/full

Restart syslog service:

service rsyslog restart

Reload logger:

asterisk -rx "logger reload"
