Hi,<br>
<br>
Yes, because 192.168.180.179 seems not to be a real address of your
server so syslog-ng cannot assign the requested address.<br>
Let's see an example:<br>
addresses of your server are the following (in this example your server
has two network cards):<br>
192.168.20.1 (eth0)<br>
10.30.20.1 (eth1)<br>
127.0.0.1 (loopback)<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">source
apache_access{tcp(ip("192.168.20.1") flags(no-parse));<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">};<br>
<br>
syslog-ng will listen only on eth0:192.168.20.1<br>
<br>
</span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">source
apache_access{tcp(ip("10.30.20.1") flags(no-parse));<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">};<br>
</span><br>
syslog-ng will listen only on eth1:10.30.20.1<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">source
apache_access{tcp(flags(no-parse));<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">};<br>
</span><br>
syslog-ng will listen on all addresses of your server
(eth0:192.168.20.1, eth1:10.30.20.1, lo:127.0.0.1)<br>
<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">source
apache_access{tcp(ip("10.10.0.1") flags(no-parse));<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">};<br>
</span><br>
syslog-ng cannot listen on this address, because it's not an address of
the server, you will receive <span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">"Cannot
assign requested address"</span> error message.<br>
<br>
If you have no specieal reasons to limit it, just don't give "ip()"
option because it is not required (as Patrick wrote)<br>

the
"ip()" option of "tcp()" in a "source()" is
not required, it is optional. It specifies the IP address which
syslog-ng will
listen on. If not provided, syslog-ng will listen on all interfaces.<br>
Seconly, you do not need a separate source for every client. You can
use filter
rules to match on the client's hostname if you need to.<br>
<br>
You might want to go through the administrator's guide, it is an
extremely good
documentation source with lots of examples. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
