Hi, Sandor. Thanks for the reply.<br>I have to configure syslog-ng to forward the logs to the Cacti server. Both firewalls are not enabled. They OSs are OpenSUSE 10.1.<br><br>Here is the section of the conf file I think you are referring to:
<br>#source my_src { .... };<br>#<br>source src {<br> #<br> # include internal syslog-ng messages<br> # note: the internal() soure is required!<br> #<br> internal();<br><br> #<br> # the following line will be replaced by the
<br> # socket list generated by SuSEconfig using<br> # variables from /etc/sysconfig/syslog:<br> #<br> unix-dgram("/dev/log");<br><br> #<br> # uncomment to process log messages from network:<br>
#<br> udp(ip("192.168.x.x") port(514));<br>};<br><br>Basically, Whenever I put the IP of the Cacti server in there and restart the syslog service, I get this:<br>==============<br>chpas-chngmgt2:~ # /etc/init.d/syslog restart
<br>Shutting down syslog services done<br>Starting syslog servicesio.c: bind_inet_socket() bind failed 192.168.x.x:514 Cannot assign requested address<br>Error initializing configuration, exiting.
<br>startproc: exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 1<br> failed<br>==============<br>Obviously, I replace 192.168.x.x with the actual IP. I'm not using syslogd, however some older servers are. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,<br><br>> Hello everyone!<br>> I have a Cacti Server with the Haloe plugin installed. I can<br>> get my Windows boxes to talk to the Haloe plugin (syslogs).<br>> I have two old servers (running SLES 9 I think) with syslogd
<br>> installed, reporting in just fine! Here is my issue - I<br>> can't figure out how to pipe or forward the data from the box<br>> to the syslogs server (Cacti). For those of you who do not<br>> know, Cacti is a network monitoring tool/RRDtool front end
<br>> with a ton of available plugins. Haloe is a centralized<br>> syslog server.<br><br>First, welcome to the syslog-ng mailing list!<br><br>Could you tell about your issue, how is it related to syslog-ng?<br><br>
If you're trying to forward syslogd messages to remote hosts<br>then use @remotehost in syslogd.conf. If you want to forward<br>messages using syslog-ng then use either the tcp() or the udp()<br>destination drivers in
syslog-ng.conf.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Sandor<br>--------------------------------------------------------<br><br>NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender. Sender does not intend to waive confidentiality or privilege. Use of this email is prohibited when received in error.
