[Techtalk] rsyslog

Would anyone happen to know how to get rsyslog to forward messages from a
group of servers to a central logging server and
have the logs sorted under directories by hostname?

I can get the logs to copy to the remote logging server but they all
just end up under scattered /var/log
instead of nicely sorted into directories by sending server name.

I've tried using templates

$template DynFile, "/var/log/%FROMHOST%/%syslogfacility-text%.log"

but these write out to the local machines /var/log directory.


Thanks!
