Questions regarding Syslog-ng
by Dyne Lai 05 May '10

05 May '10

Dear Syslog-ng developers, I am very interested and impressed with the many features of Syslog-ng as compared to Syslogd and would consider implement it in my servers. However, I do have some questions regarding Syslog-ng that I would like to enquiry as below. 1) Is it possible for both Syslogd and Syslog-ng to co-exist and run concurrently in a single server? The rational for this question is due to support reason and security reason that will require the presence of Syslogd even though it can be replaced by Syslog-ng. Thank you for the time! Best Regards, Dyne Lai

error in documentation
by Patrick H. 04 May '10

Found another error in the documentation (version 3.1). The docs list "stats_reset" as a valid config option, yet trying to use it results in a syntax error on start, and cfg-lex.l in the source has nothing about it. Guessing this was removed and the docs never got updated.

Thank you for that fast answer. I'm so sad now :-( As I found an error into the doc, did I win a license of the "Premium Edition" ? :-) ...Joke :-) Regards, Yann > Hi, > > disk-based buffering is currently not available in the Open Source Edition, only > in the Premium Edition, but it seems that the description of the option has > accidentally remained in the OSE admin guide. > > Thank you for noticing it, and my apologies for the mistake. > I will remove it from the docs and update it on the web. > > Regards, > > Robert > > Ilas, Yann wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I tried to use the disk-based buffering as described in the document "The >> syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.1 Administrator.pdf" but I have a syntax >> error when I start the process. >> I used this configuration for the destination part of my configuration file >> : >> destination d_tcp { >> tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999) log_disk_fifo_size(4194304)); }; >> >> When I remove "log_disk_fifo_size" of my configuration, everything is OK and >> syslog-ng doesn't complain. >> Did I miss something ? >> >> Regards, >> >> Yann >> >> >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> >> ____________________________________________________________________________ __ >> Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng <https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng> >> Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng <http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng> >> FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html <http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html>

log_disk_fifo_size() option available in syslog-ng 3.1.1 ?
by Ilas, Yann 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hello, I tried to use the disk-based buffering as described in the document "The syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.1 Administrator.pdf" but I have a syntax error when I start the process. I used this configuration for the destination part of my configuration file : destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3" port(1999) log_disk_fifo_size(4194304)); }; When I remove "log_disk_fifo_size" of my configuration, everything is OK and syslog-ng doesn't complain. Did I miss something ? Regards, Yann
