In this article you will know how to install rsyslog on Almalinux with simple commands and procedure.
In order for a system administrators to recognize or analyze problems on a RHEL 8 server, it is important to know and view the events that occurred on the server in a particular period of time from log files found in /var/log the directory in the system.
The Syslog (System Logging Protocol) system on the server can act as a central log monitoring point over a network where all servers, network devices, switches, routers and internal services that create logs, whether linked to the particular internal issue or just informative messages can send their logs.
The rsyslog package is not installed by default on some systems. This prevents the messages, maillog, and secure log files from being generated and updated. This article provides the steps to install the rsyslog package.
