NAME

tcp input module —

syslogd(8) input module used to receive from tcp connections

SYNOPSIS

tcp [-a] [-q] [-h host] [-p port]

tcp input module allows syslogd(8) daemon to use tcp IPC.

The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp system accepting remote connections on local address machinename.example.com port 3210:

syslogd -i 'tcp -h machinename.somedomainexample.com -p 3210'

The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp system accepting remote connections on all local addresses port 3210:

syslogd -i 'tcp -p 3210'

The following is the similar to the previous, but extracts the host name from the message:

syslogd -i 'tcp -a -p 3210'
The following is the same, but avoids adding full fomain (FQDN):

syslogd -i 'tcp -q -p 3210'
