Name

slogd - remote log collection server for sslogger

Synopsis

slog -d

Description

slogd is a log collection daemon for sslogger. It provides a method log remote sslogger sessions to a central log server over a secure TLS channel. New connections are logged to /var/log/slog/slogd, and the

session to /var/log/slog/<month-dir>/slogd-<server>-<user>-<date>.log

The default configurations use anonymous authentication by default. Security can be tightened by switching to authentication mode to x509 certs in the configuration file. This will require creating signed certificates, and pushing to all clients. A example script to generate certificates is includes in the source package. See mkSlogCerts.

The sreplay command can be used to sreplay recorded sessions
