      For anyone curious how to stop any local logging just modify

      /var/lib/syslog.conf

      Comment out everything that hits a local path, leaving the @<ip_addr> as the only option.

      Reboot and see if it sticks.

      It did not for me.

      Will test tomorrow.

        That was my issue. On reboot it would wipe out the changes I made.

          In a pinch you can do chattr +i on the rsyslog.conf file to make it immutable.

            Yeah on the bottom of that article everyone talks about it basically says to change the permission to make it unwritable.

            But they call that a QUOTE dirty, dirty tirck UNQUOTE.

              I donwloaded the Graylog OVA this morning to test it out and put it on my XS pool.

              I cannot get it to import onto my XS.

              Did you just import it in with no issues?

              I tried on my other XS and it worked fine.

              Must have been a memory issue on my test one.

                I think it is important to note that the graylog ova is preconfigured to 'just work' according to their site, and it seems to do just that. I will try adding some of my windows vm to this and see what happens later today or tomorrow.

                Once I had it imported onto my XS, I had it logging in seconds.

                Pretty sweet.

                If only I was using open source and virtualization years ago!!!!!!

                  Yes, no issues. Didn't even use the fixup disc option. Took a few minutes to start up but it worked right away

                    Yep, pretty sweet indeed.

                    When I get some time I'm going to forward all my Windows event logs there.

                      You've got GrayLog2 working now?

                              It's my answer to anything.

                              Need a new logging server? Open Source!

                              Need a new XXXXXX? Open Source!
