  • 1.  rsyslogd and syslogd together

    Posted Fri January 14, 2022 10:41 AM
    Can syslogd and rsyslogd run in parallel in AIX? Have a customer requirement for this as customer is currently using syslogd, but want to ship logs to Humio. rsyslogd is one of the supported log shippers or any other alternative suggestion ?

    Hi Eswara,

    You can't run both in parallel, no. You should be able to switch from syslogd to rsyslogd though. rsyslogd does everything that syslogd does, except for rotating log files. This can be solved with the logrotate package though.

    Regards,
