Can't background syslog-ng
by Andrew Dixon 02 Oct '01

Hi All, I'm trying to get syslog-ng-1.5.10 up under a Linux system running on a powerpc. I can compile without errors and if I run: #syslog-ng -F syslog-ng version ` starting 7 so that syslog-ng doesn't background itself it works fine. When I try to back ground it though it fails: #syslog-ng -d io.c: Preparing fd 268600320 for io.c: Preparing fd 0 for reading syslog-ng version ` starting 7gc_mark: Marking object of class '8!' (1) !ÿøàSegmentation fault Has anyone else come across this? I straced syslog-ng and it complained about "Inappropriate ioctl for device" but I'm not sure which device it's trying to manipulate. Any help would be greatly appreciated and if anyone else is running syslog-ng on a PPC Linux system it'd be nice that it is possible. Thanks, Andy P.S. here's the strace: #strace ./syslog-ng execve("./syslog-ng", ["./syslog-ng"], [/* 23 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="wolf", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x100281f0 mmap(NULL, 4096,

Balazs, Thanks for the help. If I use the ip address instead of the FQDN it does work. Strange to see the other hosts do work with the FQDN. Oh well - it's fixed. Jasper 4:58pm up 20 day(s), 20:52, 21 users, load average: 0.10, 0.12, 0.16

Hi, I'm running syslog-ng on Solaris machines. So far I have two machines with will not start syslog-ng properly. ----- root@mimas:/etc/local/syslog-ng-1.4.13/etc$ /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start Starting Syslog-NG Error creating AF_INET socket (Error 0) Error initializing configuration, exiting. root@mimas:/etc/local/syslog-ng-1.4.13/etc$ uname -a SunOS mimas 5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80 ----- The Solaris 5.8 machine has the same problem.

Monitoring connection
by Roman Ernst 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

Good morning! Have a question regarding syslog-ng TCP/IP connection... Is it possible to configure an SYSLOG-COLLECTION-SERVER to give any kind of alert whenever the connection between this server and any syslog-client is dropped? My problem is: if i plug out the network cable neither the server (AIX) nor the client (an AIX too) do recognize this within an acceptable period of time... Does there exist something like a "SERVER-CLIENT heartbeat" ??? Or... does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem another way? Best regards Roman Ernst

quick questions
by Ben Smee 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

heya, I am looking to setup syslog-ng for some tests here and I was wondering where the latest documentaion is available. I checked the man page but it suggests the html version is the latest, however, looking at the html version and comparing that to the samples that come with the latest package I can see that there are a huge number of features that appear to not be documented. Can anyone therefore point me to the best place to get the most updated doco's? Also is it possible to get a search function put on the list archive? Would make life easier :) thanks, -------------------- Benjamin Smee Technical Specialist Optus Business Operations (NAC) "YES" OPTUS ben.smee(a)optus.net.au Tel: +61-2-93420091 Fax: +61-2-93420998 Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves. -- Gandalf the White

Thank you for the answer, Mr. Korschan, It worked! I misunderstood "the regular expression" as the one of the shells.

RE:[syslog-ng]using ^ and/or $ in a regular expression match
by Masahiro Hirako 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

Hello, I've just begun using syslog-ng 1.4.12. Excuse me if the following problem is a FAQ, but I couldn't find an answer from the log, manual, reference. On Thu, 14 Jun 2001, nick nick(a)digitalwest.net wrote about the match() function problem, and I also have the similar one. (http://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2001-June/001584.html) The problem is '*' '?', or '+' in match() function. The following filter below seems to fail. ------------------------------- filter f1 { match("abc*");}; --------------------------------- I also tried match("abc\*"), match("abc\\*"), but those didn't work too. I know match("abc") is enough to resolve the sample problem, and it worked, but I want to make a filter like "abc*:xyz". Dose the match() function really resolve the regular expression? Or is the way I use match() wrong? Thank you for reading. Masahiro Hirako

file() syntax
by Nicholas Berry 02 Oct '01

02 Oct '01

Just for background info, I compiled syslog-ng v1.5.9 under Solaris 8. I would like to make a statement similar to this: log { file("/var/log/$host/$year/$month"); }; to write the log to "/var/log/ns01/2001/10". I know this is possible by several filters, but that would be a ton of filters (especially since this will be breaking up at least 20 hosts). I've read over the online documentation and the man page for syslog-ng.conf and the closest I've seen to what I'm looking for is the file( ) macros. Can someone provide examples of using the macros or point me to online documentation outlining this? _________________________________________________________________ Nicholas Berry RagingWire Telecommunications, Inc.
