Log Locally and Remotely with rsyslogd

How can I make it so log file is stored both remotely and locally using rsyslog?

From serverfault Kyle Brandt

• Put the following line in your /etc/rsyslog.d/remote.conf:

  *.* @remote.server.ip
  

  This can easily be extended for only logging specific facilities and levels to the remote server.

  Kyle Brandt : Won't this just send the logs to the remote server and not the local one?

  Wouter de Bie : By default the configuration in Ubuntu for rsyslogd is done in /etc/rsyslog.conf. Here, local logging is already configured. Adding extra files in your /etc/rsyslog.d causes to log to a remote (or local) location as well. The /etc/rsyslog.d directory allows you to extend your configuration (not override it).

• It looks like it's as simple as two lines in the config file:

  *.* @loghost
  *.* /var/log/messages
  

  The rsyslog example configs have a few instances of teeing like this. The key one:

  kern.* /var/adm/kernel
  kern.crit @finlandia;RFC3164fmt
  kern.crit /dev/console
  kern.info;kern.!err /var/adm/kernel-info
  
  The second statement directs all kernel messages of the priority crit and 
  higher to the remote host finlandia.
  [...]
  The third rule directs these messages to the actual console, so the person 
  who works on the machine will get them, too.

• Wouter de Bie had a good answer, but he showed the UDP method of sending logs. In order to send them over the more reliable (though not 100%) TCP use something like:

  *.* @@remote.server.ip
