It said FAIL in capital red lettlers.<br>However, restarting the syslog-ng daemon went ok. Reloading again also went ok. So, I guess that problem is solved. However, I have no clue why it failed.<br>I've checked overnight, and the logging works like a charm now.<br>

<div></div>Hi folks,<br><br>I'm new to syslog-ng. I'm trying to get it running
on a bunch of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and OEL 5.3 systems.<br>For a start, I'm trying to
get it working on 2 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS boxes. <br>What I want is that all logging
of all systems is sent to a central loghost. Systems do not need to keep a local
logfile. <br><br>So, I've shamelesly copied over a (as said working) config from
another thread a few days ago on this list. <br>The client part works, at least,
the reload goed ok. However, on the server, the reload fails, giving no kind of
warning or message whatsoever to hint where the problem lies.<br><br>The
configuration is as follows (With thanks to Siem Korteweg, from whom I copied
the config over). <br><br>Client & server:<br><br>source s_internal {
internal(); };<br><br>destination d_syslogng_log {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log"); };<br><br>source s_local
{<br>
unix-dgram("/dev/log");<br>
file("/proc/kmsg"
program_override("kernel:"));<br>
};<br><br>destination d_remote { tcp("10.0.13.152" port(514) ) ;
};<br><br>destination d_local { file("/var/log/messages"); };<br><br>log {
source( s_internal ); destination( d_remote ); };<br>log
{ source( s_internal ); destination( d_syslogng_log );
};<br>log { source( s_local );
destination( d_remote ); };<br>log { source( s_local
); destination( d_local );
};<br><br><br>On the central loghost, adittional lines are added:<br><br>source
s_network { tcp (ip("10.0.13.152") port(514)); };<br><br>destination
d_network {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng/hosts/$HOST_FROM/$R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY"
create_dirs(yes)); };<br>log { source( s_network
); destination( d_network ); };<br><br>But, as
said, a reload fails. Can someone help me out a little ? <br>Oh, I am running
syslog-ng 3.03, installed from the .deb package available on the website of
Balabit.<br><br>cheers and thanks in advance. <br><br>Andy<br><br></div></div></div>
