Hello
Currently I have be asked to send my syslog from aix

And don't forget restart the syslogd with the -r flag 'to another system'

From syslogd manual:
-r This option will enable the facility to receive message from
the network
using an internet domain socket with the syslog
service (see services(5)).
The default is to not receive any messages from the network.

... and also don't forget to open the 514 port if firewall between machines.

so say serve a going to server b
A server = 10.10.10.1 B=10.10.10.2

Pretty simple, the /etc/syslog.conf file has examples in the comments,
edit the file, and edit the destination of the log level you want to
@hostname

refresh -s syslogd

You should be good to go.

hth,

bob
