<p dir="ltr">Syslog-ng does have a private facility registry to make the codes more portable accross OS-es. It is in syslog-names.c in the lib/ directory. Can you check if audit is listed there?</p>
<p dir="ltr">If it's not feel free to submit a patch to add that.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, on a related note, if syslog-ng doesnt match by facility code, pls confirm that the message was indeed submitted with the facility code you are expecting. You can do that by looking at raw syslog traffic (using a sniffer or merely looking at syslog-ng debug output). There you will see a number in brackets as the first thing in a message.</p>
<p dir="ltr">E.g. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><55>date host msg</p>
<p dir="ltr">There 55 equals to 8 times facility plus the severity level, in this example 6*8+7, eg. Facility 6, severity 7.<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

compiled the release of syslog-ng that you are using.<br>
Perhaps it was compiled on a different release of Solaris or
something. Only the group that compiled the release can give you
more answers.<br>

<div>Well, that is probably because the host
where syslog-ng was compiled is a different
OS than that where the "audit" facility log
line was created.<br>
<br>
For instance, on a Linux host, the syslog.h
file from the system only has these
facilities defined.<br>
<br>
CODE facilitynames[] =<br>
{<br>
{ "auth", LOG_AUTH },<br>

<br>
<br>
with values of<br>
<br>
/* facility codes */<br>
#define LOG_KERN (0<<3) /*

#define LOG_FTP (11<<3) /* ftp

<br>
/* other codes through 15 reserved

#define LOG_LOCAL6 (22<<3) /*

#define LOG_LOCAL7 (23<<3) /*

<br>
<br>
so there is no audit facility.<br>
<br>
Hope that explains it.<br>

<div>Syslog-ng is unable to recognize the
facility audit. When I put filter as
audit and restart syslog-ng it errors
out. When I put the facility code as 13
