rsyslog issue loggng for different hosts

Posted on

Hello,
I am trying to have some network devices (Cisco), router, switches, access points, log, via rsyslog, to different files on a 'central' hostbut all the messages keep ending up in /var/log/messages.

I created a file in /etc/rsyslog.d with the following content:

$template NetworkLogs,"/var/log/network/%HOSTNAME%-messages.log" *
.?NetworkLogs
& stop

Obviously I am missing something here.

any ideas?

thanks,

Ron
