Title: TC as syslog server
Post by: andyj on April 02, 2015, 12:17:00 PM

I see that Busybox has a syslogd but as far as I can tell it only logs locally and / or sends logs to another server. I looked but I didn't see an extension to enable TC to be a syslog server to receive log entries from other systems. Is there one?

Hi there,

I had the same issue and afaik there is no syslog receiving tool in tinycore. What I finally found was this nice little perl script:

The only disadvantage is that you have to have the perl package installed, which is about 12mb in size...
