Continuing on in the Raspberry Pi as network server journey, I now have an rsyslog server (Pi1) collecting logs from the various networky things. I am using this Log Analyzer as the frontend. It was a royal PiTA to get working, but now that it is up, it was worth it. Within a minute (my default refresh time), I can see the results of all of my half-finished projects. Nagging reminders that were previously ignored in log files are now popped up on the screen in the web browser.

# Log to rsyslog "server"

This gets little confusing and is similar to VNC as to which device is the “server” and which is the “client”. The server, in this case, is serving the log entries to the client, who is collecting them. {/edit}
