Summary: check_syslog

Initial Comment:
How does it work : 
On the nagios side, a logger command is launch (which
send information to your syslog server) the we launch
(with nrpe) a comparison of what has been send and what
there is in the log file of the server syslog. And
finaly, the return information is send to nagios (with
nrpe).
So check_syslog_server is plugin for nagios side and
check_syslogd is plugin for the syslog side.

CONFIGURATION : You need to modify your syslog like
that ...
* syslog.conf / NAGIOS
local5.* @<serveursyslog>
* syslog.conf / SERVEUR SYSLOG
local5.info /var/log/nagios.test
And of course you need NRPE on syslog side ...

INFORMATION : the type of the logger command : 
date +%H%M%S | logger -p local5.info -t nagios
