This minimal how-to assumes Debian/Ubuntu Linux distributions, and that rsyslog is installed. I'm sure the principle can be applied across distributions.

Server

Uncomment these lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf

Code:

$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514

Then /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

Client

Add these lines to the MODULES section in /etc/rsyslog.conf

Code:

$WorkDirectory /rsyslog/work    # default location for work (spool) files
$ActionQueueType LinkedList     # use asynchronous processing
$ActionQueueFileName srvrfwd    # set file name, also enables disk mode
$ActionResumeRetryCount -1      # infinite retries on insert failure
$ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on   # save in-memory data if rsyslog shuts down
*.* @@<server-ip-address>

Then /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
