Customizing the originating host

To customize remote logging on an originating host:

1. Log in as root.

2. Edit /etc/default/eels and find the log-destination parameter block you want to modify. For example, if you wanted to modify EELS so that all ``default'' log destinations are redirected to a destination host, modify the ``log-destination default'' parameter block. An example of a ``log-destination default'' parameter block is shown below:

   log-destination default {
       database  defaultdb;
       table     events;
   }
   

3. Comment out the database and table parameters by preceding them with a ``#'' symbol.

4. Add a hostname parameter to the bottom of the block followed by the name of the destination host. The name can either be a name that can be resolved by DNS or the server's IP address. For example, if the IP address of the destination host was ``192.168.24.33'', the resulting log-destination parameter block would be:

   log-destination default {
   #    database  defaultdb;
   #    table     events;
        hostname  192.168.24.33
   }
   

5. Save the changes you have made to /etc/default/eels.
