<br>
I'm trying to use the unix-stream destination to send data to another<br>
application which opens the socket in line mode. The problem is that both<br>
ends complain about the connection breaking all the time:<br>
<br>
    syslog-ng[31002]: Syslog connection broken; fd='24', server='AF_UNIX(/var/run/other<wbr>app.sock)', time_reopen='60'<br>
    otherapp[123445]: failed to read from socket #10: Connection reset by peer<br>
<br>
I tracked down the problem to the fact that otherapp sends some data after receiving a line from syslog-ng: "data ok", and syslog-ng doesn't seem to like that.<br>
<br>
If I set up a unidirectional proxy (that filters out upstream "data ok") between syslog-ng and otherapp everything works fine:<br>
<br>
    socat -u UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/proxy.sock,fo<wbr>rk UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/otherapp<wbr>.sock<br>
<br>
Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a known limitation of syslog-ng?<br>
