Customizing the destination host

To customize remote logging on the destination host:

1. Log in as root.

2. Edit /etc/default/eels, and create a new accept-remote parameter block containing the name of the originating host that will be sending the messages and a log destination where to place the messages. For example, if the originating host had an IP address of 192.168.24.87, the resulting accept-remote block could look like this:

      accept-remote origin_1 {
          hostname     192.168.24.87;
          destination  default
      }
   

3. Save the changes made to /etc/default/eels.

4. Restart EELS on the destination host by entering the following command:
   
   /etc/init.d/eelsrc restart

5. Restart EELS on the originating host by using the same command as in step 4.
