You don't need to copy the binary, but you do need to specify a uniq set of configuration files, persistence files and control socket.<br>
<br>
You also need to ensure that the second instance does NOT read data from the local OS log sources such as<br>
/dev/log<br>
/proc/kmsg<br>
<br>
our second instance looks like<br>
<br>
syslog-ng --cfgfile=/usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.files.conf --persist-file=/var/local/syslog-ng.files.persist --pidfile=/var/run/syslog-ng.files.pid --control=/var/local/syslog-ng.files.ctl<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
