In a previous post I explained how to configure syslog-ng to accept logs from other hosts on the network. Back then I used a filter to only write logs from a specific host to a specific destination.

While this approach works fine, it requires you to create a filter for each host. So I started looking for a different way to do this, and quickly found it can be done much simpler by using the SOURCEIP macro.

In my previous post on the subject I pointed you to the ovirt-dre repository.

Today however, I found out that a CentOS dev is also working on packaging CentOS. Read more about it on CentOS Wiki.

Recently I have been playing around with oVirt.

Since oVirt is included in Fedora 18, I tried it on F18 first. Unfortunately, these packages lack the web GUI. Since this is one of the things I wanted to test, these packages are useless to me. So I started digging around, and found the ovirt-dre repository.
