Also how can I > reconfigure logrotate to include these log files? I use syslog-ng for this because it has some nice filtering options. One of which is source hostname/ip address. This means each router gets its own logfile along with a messages file for all the routers messages. Most of the engineers in the NOC tend to just leave this being tail'd in a terminal as a handy way on watching for issues. syslog-ng really is the way to go.
