compilation errors -- Syslog-ng-2.0.4
by Raj Gurung 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

i am trying to compile syslog-ng-2.0.4 in RHEL4 box. When i did ./configure, it provides me the following error: .............. checking for GLIB... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib-2.0' found no configure: error: Cannot find GLib library version >= 2.2: is pkg-config in path? ............. I have glib-1.2.10-11.1 version on my RHEL4 box. Is that the problem with the glib version or has anyone got this problem before ? I could not figure out what might be the problem...suggestions/experiences are welcome.. Thank You, gorkhe

tcp centralized setup
by Blurry 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I had my sys admin install syslog-ng for me, because I can't have root access. I wish to set up a syslog-ng listener to collect syslog (TCP) messages from cisco routers. I need the existing solaris 9 syslog daemon (UDP 514) to remain running. I used a basic conf file options { long_hostnames(on);sync(0);stats(43200);dns_cache(yes); use_fqdn(no);keep_hostname(yes);use_dns(yes); }; source tcpgateway { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) max_connections(1000)); }; destination tcplocalhost { file("/var/tmp/syslog-ng.all"); }; log { source(tcpgateway); destination(tcplocalhost); }; I tried to start the syslog-ng daemon and got this error 'io.c: bind_unix_socket(): /dev/log not a socket' the ls -l of /dev/log shows /devices/pseudo/log@0:log Is this because I am not running syslog-ng as root ? What am I doing wrong ? Thanks

Unsuccessful not match filter
by Louis Bohm 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

So what am I doing wrong here with this filter??? Because it is not working for me. filter f_discard { ( not match("Connection from UDP: ")) or ( not match("Did not receive identification string from 192.168.0.46")) or ( not match("Received SNMP packet(s) from UDP: [192.168.0.46]")); }; Thanks, Louis ~~ ------------------------------------- Louis Bohm Network Administrator Adnexus Therapeutics 781.209.2324 -------------------------------------

[patch] Add filters to strip unwanted data from incoming syslog messages.
by William Pitcock 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hello, A project that I am involved with has requirements for the ability to strip personally identifiable data from their syslogs. The attached patch allows us to accomplish this functionality. I believe it would be useful if it is included in upstream syslog-ng. Please consider it for inclusion in the next release. Thanks in advance, - William
