A few months ago, I challenged myself with a problem. I wanted to implement centralized system logging that would securely store logs in a location that would prevent any tampering or mischief. It was necessary to find a solution that fit into my company's tight budget that would also be a) secure, b) affordable and c) easy to run, especially on a Solaris system. While these constraints made it very tough to discover a viable solution, I was nevertheless able to do so. This article will discuss a solution that meets these criteria and will work well in other environments as well. It should be noted that since I implemented the solution I have in place now, I have discovered some other options.
