I have finished all the steps provided and configured a few Cisco switches to point to the Syslog server, however when i login all i get is: USING TABLE: logs There appear to be no hosts in the Database yet You can generate fake ones using scripts/dbgen.pl Can you help with this problem? I don't know how to add hosts to the database.

@Khemarin

If it is still showing "It works!" message if your browser, it means the file index,html is still in the /var/www

replace the file and redo the 5th step, remember your files should be extracted to the /var/www (not in subfolders)

You can install / configure syslog server using above document. to redirect your logs from different devices like switches and routers you have to configure the client devices.

Commands to enable logging cisco events (192.168.0.1 is the syslog server ip address )
Router(config)# logging on
Router(config)# logging 192.168.0.1

@tom

That is a command inside a script "/etc/syslog-ng/syslog2mysql.sh"

Hope you replaced SQL user name and password in that line.

here user is "root" and password is "YOUR_PASS"

This command does not work: mysql -uroot -password=YOURPASS syslog /dev/null

I receive the following error: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘NTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, datetime, program, msg) VALUES (‘ at line 1

Any assistance would be great.

Thanks,

Tom
