[nsp] Script for gathering logs from routers?

[Temkin, David]

Thanks, I've thought of that.

<sarcasm = on>
I know I was only discussing AToM, MPLS, and CES earlier.  It's obvious I
wouldn't think of syslog...
<sarcasm = off>

I've evaluated all of the network based options and right now the easiest
thing to do is to just telnet out every X amount of minutes and have my
management system do a logmatch on the resulting file.  Eventually we'll
come up with something network based, but as the people on this list know
who are admins in enterprise versus ISP networks, it's not always practical
to A) stick something on the far outside, or B) stick something in a
protected DMZ due to the cost of a firewall interface.

Thanks,

-Dave

Then stick a syslog server outside the firewall and ftp logs from it daily.

To answer the last four emails, I have an issue where the router is outside
of a firewall and it's not acceptable to open the syslog port inbound, so
instead we're going to opt for gathering the logs.

Thanks,

Why not have the routers send their logs to a syslog server, or are you
looking for some piece of data that doesn't get syslog'd?
