<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am very new to syslog-ng via Cygwin.<br>
<br>
I am having trouble with MWG proxy logs where individual events inside the log are being timestamped at the rotation time (timestamping at 00:00-00:01AM).<br>
This happens intermittently so the problem isn't constant. I have verified via packet captures that the timestamp is correct up until syslog-ng begins to handle the event and write it to the log.<br>
<br>
My syslog-ng.conf is as follows<br>
<br>
===============================================================<br>
@version: 3.2<br>
<br>
@include "scl.conf"<br>
<br>
<br>
options {<br>
<br>
create_dirs(yes);<br>
<br>
use_dns(yes);<br>
<br>
dns_cache_hosts(/etc/hosts);<br>
<br>
dns_cache_expire(3600);<br>
<br>
chain_hostnames(0);<br>
<br>
log_fifo_size(512);<br>
<br>
perm(0644);<br>
<br>
dir_perm(0755);<br>
<br>
time_reopen(10);<br>
<br>
time_reap(360);<br>
<br>
use_fqdn(no);<br>
<br>
keep_hostname(no);<br>
<br>
stats_freq(0);<br>
<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
source s_network {<br>
<br>
udp(port("514"));<br>
<br>
};<br>
<br>
<br>
destination s_files {<br>
<br>
file("/cygdrive/d/syslog/$HOST/$HOST-$MONTH-$DAY.log" create_dirs(yes));<br>
<br>
};<br>
<br>
log { source(s_network); destination(s_files); };<br>
==============================================================<br>
<br>
Thanks. Any help or direction would be much appreciated<br>
