Why does this not work in 1.6.x?
by t_esting＠excite.com 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

Hello, syslog-ng gurus. I have a question about a config that works for me in 1.5.26 but not in 1.6.x (up to 1.6.5/libol 0.3.14). Here are (what I hope are) the pertinent bits: source s_udp { udp( port(514) ); }; filter f_fwsm_block { match(" \%FWSM-") and not match(": (Teardown|Translation|Built)"); }; filter f_fwsm_misc { match(" \%FWSM-") and match(": (Teardown|Translation|Built)"); }; log { source(s_udp); filter(f_fwsm_misc); destination(d_ipfilters_bymin); }; log { source(s_udp); filter(f_fwsm_block); destination(d_ipmon); }; ## fallthrough log { destination(d_messages); flags(fallback, catchall); }; With syslog-ng 1.5.26, messages matching "%FWSM-Teardown", etc., are written (correctly) to the d_ipmon destination. With syslog-ng 1.6.x, they drop through to d_messages. Can anyone on the list please help me decipher what changes I might need to make to my config (either compiling syslog-ng itself or to my syslog-ng.conf file) to make my logs write to the same place once I upgrade? Thanks in advance. t_esting(a)excite.com _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Syslog-ng and mysql
by Chris Vaughan 07 Nov '04

07 Nov '04

Greetings, I am currently trying to get syslog-ng to map to mysql so that it can then be reported by way of php-syslog-ng. However, the destination keeps giving me syntax errors. I am running syslog-ng 1.6.5 and I have tried to follow the documentation in the source code and at www.vermeer.org. Any Suggestions?

Problem with logrotation in RedHat installation!?
by Jörgen Ekstedt 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi everyone! Got a problem with logrotation in RedHat9 when using syslog-ng. We are using the "logrotate" command, and we dont get syslog-ng to change files. I have included a "postrotate" command in the logrotate.conf file that sends a -HUP signal to the syslog-ng process, and syslog-ng reports in the logs that it got received and it is restarting. But anyway, it still writes its logs to the rotated logfile? For example logging messages to file "message.log" Perform the logrotate command and we get 2 files, "message.log" and message.log.1" BUT now syslog-ng writes its logs to message.log.1, and I want it to start over on the message.log file? Any clues? BR

Where to put in startup scripts?
by Jörgen Ekstedt 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi everyone! Got a nice working installation of syslog-ng in our computers. But I have aquestion about the startup script. We are running a mixed environment with RedHat Linux and IRIX, and for now we have the startupscript for syslog-ng located at S99, ie we start it last of all services. Now where should we start it? Is there any recommendations? BR

syslog on HP-UX 11
by Olivia Leonard 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi I have set up a central logging server using syslog-ng (on solaris 8) - all the solaris servers, windows servers, and routers are logging to it with no big issues. I want to get a HP-UX box logging to it and it's proving difficult. Initially In installed syslog-ng 1.5.8 from a depot and it sent only a startup message to the central server but none of the other messages such as logins, su and so on. So I tried getting it to log to it using it's own native syslog - it just won't log anything. It resolves loghost and gives no errors on startup/restart but it just doesn't log anything (eventhough my central server listens on UDP 514 and gets messages from routers/switches) Could anyone help me out with this?? Attached are both my syslog.conf and my syslog-ng.conf.

group () doesn't work
by przemolicc＠poczta.fm 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hello, I am trying to allow group ('it') members to read logs. Therefore I used following lines: ... destination hosts { file("/var/log/HOSTS/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOUR:00" owner("root") group("it") perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes) ); }; ... But it doesn't work: new files are in group 'it' but new directories aren't. What can I do to have newly created directories in group 'it' ? przemol

RE: [syslog-ng]syslog-ng template does not work
by Earls, Michael 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

The template() destinations are only supported by the 1.5.x and up. I would upgrade your version of syslog-ng. Michael PGP Info: KeyID 0x0DFD993C Fingerprint F903 0325 5105 2CDB 4BF4 C88B 72F7 BA7A 28CC 598A -----Original Message----- From: Sirinus [mailto:sirinus@excite.com] Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 2:39 PM To: syslog-ng(a)lists.balabit.hu Subject: [syslog-ng]syslog-ng template does not work Hello, Everyone, I just installed syslog-ng on my mandrake-9.2 with the rpm package: syslog-ng-1.4.17-3mdk.src.rpm For generly log, it works fine. However, I would like to forward my logs to MySql database. So I tried to follow the tutorials of Michael Earls ( ohttp://vermeer.org/display_doc.php?doc_id=1) However, after I added the following line to my syslog-ng.conf, each time when I tried to restart syslog-ng, it tells sth is wrong. The following is what I have done: 1. Add the following to my syslog-ng.conf so that I can log to mysql database: ## Log syslog-ng to mysql database ## destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date, time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL', '$TAG', '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(net); destination(d_mysql); }; 2. stop syslog-ng [root@localhost tmp]# service syslog-ng stop Shutting down kernel logger: [ OK ] Shutting down system logger: [ OK ] 3. restart syslog-ng [root@localhost tmp]# service syslog-ng start Starting system logger: parse error at 27 Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. [FAILED] starting kernel logger: [ OK ] NOTE: line 27 is where "template ("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, " showing the first step. I wonder to know what's wrong with this configuration? I tried to read the source code. I cannot find any thing related to "template". Does syslog-ng 1.4.17 support "template"? How could I fix the problem?
