实现环境：
centos5.4+syslog-ng_3.3.1.tar+eventlog_0.2.12.tar+libol-0.3.9.tar
安装eventlog: 
./configure  –prefix=/usr/local/eventlog && make && make install
 
 
安装 libol:     http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/libol/0.3
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/libol &&make && make install
 
 
安装 syslog-ng:
#export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/eventlog/lib/pkgconfig
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/syslog-ng --with-libol=/usr/local/libol
#make && make install
configure: error: Cannot find eventlog version >= 0.2: is pkg-config in path? (若出现这个错误，基本上是由于前面的
PKG_CONFIG_PATH变量没指定好)

chmod +x /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
[root@server2 etc]# chkconfig --add syslog-ng
service syslog-ng does not support chkconfig(若出现该错误，请修改该脚本前四行如下)
[root@server2 etc]# head -4 /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
#!/bin/bash
#chkconifg: --add syslog-ng
#chkconfig: 2345 12 88
#Description: syslog-ng
该脚本还需要修改下面的三个位置
# grep ‘PATH‘ /etc/init.d/syslog-ng
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/syslog-ng/bin:/usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin
# grep 'INIT' /etc/init.d/syslog-ng |head -2
INIT_PROG="/usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng" # Full path to daemon
INIT_OPTS="-f /usr/local/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf" # options passed to daemon service syslog-ng start
#Starting syslog-ng: /usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng: error while loading shared libraries: libevtlog.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Starting Kernel Logger: 出现此错误是因为共享库链接没做好
 ln -s /usr/local/eventlog/lib/* /lib/
出现下面的问题是因为主配置文件中缺少：@version:3.0这行
Starting syslog-ng: Configuration file has no version number, assuming syslog-ng 2.1 format. Please add @version:
maj.min to the beginning of the file;
 service syslog-ng start
#cat /var/log/syslog-ng.log
Jan 28 03:59:07 server2.yang.com syslog-ng[20225]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.0.5'
客户端配置：
[root@client ~]# tail -1 /etc/syslog.conf
*.* @192.168.90.20
这里需要重启syslog服务
[root@client ~]# logger -i just one test
[root@client ~]# tail -1 /var/log/messages
Jan 27 22:12:02 client root[2861]: just one test
[root@server2 ~]# cat /var/log/syslog-ng/20100128/192.168.90.10/messages
Jan 28 04:24:32 192.168.90.10 root[2861]: just one test
 

前面配置好了syslog-ng,下面简要的概述下如何将系统日志存入mysql
1：将mysql的头文件和库文件链接到/usr/local下
[root@server2 ~]# ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib /usr/local/lib/mysql
[root@server2 ~]# ln -s /usr/local/mysql/include/ /usr/local/include
2：下载sqlsyslogd源码包，由于是整个目录下载，所以会下载index.html打头的索引文件
[root@server2 ]# wget -d -r -np http://www.frasunek.com/sources/security/sqlsyslogd/
[root@server2 ]# cd www.frasunek.com/sources/security/sqlsyslogd/
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# rm -rf index.html*
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# cd contrib/
[root@server2 contrib]# rm -rf index.html*
[root@server2 contrib]# cd
[root@server2 ~]# mv www.frasunek.com/sources/security/sqlsyslogd/ ./
3:make,复制sqlsyslogd二进制程序到/usr/local/sbin目录下
[root@server2 ~]# cd sqlsyslogd
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# make
cc -O6 -Wall -pipe -I/usr/local/include -DCONF=\"/usr/local/etc/sqlsyslogd.conf\" -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -
lmysqlclient sqlsyslogd.c -o sqlsyslogd
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# cp sqlsyslogd /usr/local/sbin/
4：执行下sqlsyslogd程序，出现下面的命令选项则说明安装成功
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/sqlsyslogd
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# sqlsyslogd
usage: sqlsyslogd [-h hostname] <-u username> [-p] <-t table> [database]
5：修改/etc/ld.so.conf文件，并使其生效，这个文件维护着编译的动态链接库位置
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/mysql
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# ldconfig
6：在数据库中创建相应的库和表
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 158
Server version: 5.1.36-log Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> create database syslog;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use syslog
Database changed
mysql> create table logs (Id int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,Timestamp varchar(16),Host varchar(50),Prog varchar
(50),Mesg text,PRIMARY KEY (id));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> exit
Bye
7：该文件定义了连接数据库的密码
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# cat /usr/local/etc/sqlsyslogd.conf
123456
8：在syslog-ng主配置文件中添加下列配置
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# vi /usr/local/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf
destination sqlsyslogd{
program("/usr/local/sbin/sqlsyslogd -u root -t logs syslog -p");
};
log {
source(s_remote);
destination(sqlsyslogd);
};
9:重启syslog-ng服务
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# service syslog-ng restart
Stopping Kernel Logger: [ OK ]
Starting Kernel Logger: [ OK ]
10:客户端发消息测试
[root@server2 sqlsyslogd]# tail -1 /var/log/syslog-ng/20111028/192.168.99.79/messages
Oct 26 14:25:47 192.168.99.79 root[6058]: just for test
