<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
<br>
I've been using syslog-ng to filter syslog before forwarding on to a log collector. However, I need to spin up a second instance for testing purposes. I've found a little bit of information on-line, but it hasn't completed the entire picture.<br>
<br>
This is the command used to start up the 2nd instance. I'm pointing to separate .conf .persist .pid and .ctl files -- However, it's still not working. I suspect the issue is due to OS log sources. How do a change log sources?<br>
<br>
syslog-ng --cfgfile=/usr/local/bin/syslog-ng-Second-Instance/syslog-ng.conf --persist-file=/usr/local/bin/syslog-ng-Second-Instance/syslog-ng.persist --pidfile=/usr/local/bin/syslog-ng-Second-Instance/syslog-ng.pid --control=/usr/local/bin/syslog-ng-Second-Instance/syslog-ng.ctl
&<br>
<br>
This is the upper part of the syslog-ng.conf file for the 2nd instance I wish to run.<br>
<br>
@version: 3.3.4<br>
@include "scl.conf"<br>
options {<br>
time-reap(30);<br>
mark-freq(10);<br>
keep-hostname(yes);<br>
chain-hostnames(no);<br>
use-dns(no);<br>
## log-fifo-size(500000); ## Tuning Options<br>
## flush_lines(10000); ## Tuning Options<br>
## flush_timeout(10000); ## Tuning Options<br>
};<br>
<br>
source s_second_instance {<br>
syslog(transport("udp") port("518")); #### Will receive test syslog on port 518<br>
};<br>
<br>
destination d_syslog_udp {<br>
syslog("10.X.X.X"<br>
transport("udp")<br>
port("514")<br>
throttle(4000)<br>
);<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm hoping someone has experience or has seen information on how to run a 2nd instance on the same box.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>
