Thanks allot Ulrich, that site contains great documentation, i'm
starting to understand how syslog-ng works.<br>
But, let me tell you the problem with wich i'm stuck right now.<br>
<br>
A router is sending syslog messages to a linux box (Fedora) from
10.0.0.1. I can see the messages arriving at the server.<br>
<i>[root@monitorizare1 ~]# tcpdump -v src 10.0.0.1<br>
tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size
96 bytes<br>

<br>
<br>
I have configured syslog-ng.conf like this:<br>
<i>source s_router_udp {<br>
internal();<br>
file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));<br>
udp (ip(0.0.0.0) port ( 514 ) );<br>
#unix-stream ("/dev/log");<br>
};<br>
destination d_localfile {<br>
file ("/root/testlog");<br>
};<br>
log {<br>
source (s_router_udp);<br>
destination (d_localfile);<br>
};</i><br>
<br>
The problem is that in /root/testlog i can't see any log, except those
internal generated by syslog-ng:<br>
<i>Jul 1 09:31:36 monitorizare1 syslog-ng[17787]: syslog-ng starting

<br>
I can't find anything in the syslog-ng guide admin about how can
messages received from remote hosts can be inserted into files.<br>
<br>
Can anyone help me? I feel that i'm close to a solution.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I was in a similar situation some weeks ago.
Admin Guide found at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng">http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng</a> was of great help to me.
And, of course, Google ,-)

Betreff: [syslog-ng] Syslog-ng beginners guide
Hello everybody,
Sorry for bothering you with a beginners question.
I have a cacti implementation in my network and a want to integrate it with syslog-ng. I have mostly cisco routers, all configured to sent syslog messages to two linux boxes (Ubuntu 9.04 and FedoraCore 10) where i have installed syslog-ng.
I'm not able to find where the logs are kept, so this drives me crazy.
Do you know any site or resource where i can find some beginners guide about using syslog-ng with cisco routers? I mean, a guide for someone who never used syslog-ng before.
Thanks.
