Is there a way to test if EventTracker is receiving SYSLOG messages from my Linux/Unix machine?
You can generate sample SYSLOG messages from a Linux/Unix implementation with the logger command logger is a command-line application that sends messages to the system logger. In addition to being a good diagnostic tool, logger is especially useful for adding logging functionality to shell scripts. Suppose you’ve just reconfigured syslog to send all daemon messages with priority “warn” to EventTracker. To test the new syslog.conf file, you’d first restart syslogd and klogd and then you’d enter a command like the one below: logger -p daemon.warn “This is only a test.” logger’s syntax is simple. The -p parameter allows you to specify a facility.priority selector. Everything after this selector (and any other parameters or flags) is taken to be the message.
