Post by shouldbe q931I wondered if anyone had already written a script to extract the logs
from a Cisco router and drop them into CVS
I'm going to speculate that the answer to this is "no they haven't", because
storing logs in CVS doesn't really make any sense, as far as I can tell. Why
would you care about what the logs looked like today vs. last week or last
month, as you would with a config? Each log entry is timestamped so you can
see when things happened. And there's already a sensible, widely supported
mechanism for off-router storage of logs, syslog.

Hi Alex
The situation is a small site with an ADSL connection that only has
two desktops and no VPN back to the main site. I'd rather not have
syslog traffic going over the Internet, hence the idea of "collecting"
the log over an SSH connection. Granted its not as tidy as syslog, but
for the quantity of logs I thought it might be an idea. I guess
setting up a site to site VPN to carry syslog traffic will probably be
the simplest solution
