Create a group and a user with gid and id 604 named bigsis:

• groupadd -g 604 bigsis
• useradd -u 604 -g 604 bigsis

Install the agent and the libraries:

• rpm -ivh bigsister-1.02-4.noarch.rpm bigsister-agent-1.02-4.noarch.rpm
• yum install perl-GD

Configure the automatic startup:

• chkconfig --add bigsister

Modify the group and the group permissions, to allow the bigsis user to read the sistem logs:

• chown root.bigsis /var/log/messages*
• chown root.bigsis /var/log/maillog*
• chmod g+r /var/log/messages*
• chmod g+r /var/log/maillog*

Edit the /etc/logrotate.d/syslog file to ensure that the rotate log files will be created with the right permissions.

Modify the default configuration:

/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

with the following:

/var/log/messages /var/log/maillog {
    sharedscripts
    create 640 root bigsis
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

/var/log/secure /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

Configure the bigsister agent.

• cd /etc/bigsister/
• vi uxmon-net
