[Bug 104] New: Add libtool option -module

https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=104 Summary: Add libtool option -module Product: syslog-ng Version: 3.2.x Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi(a)balabit.hu ReportedBy: vinschen(a)redhat.com Type of the Report: bug Estimated Hours: 0.0 Created an attachment (id=30) --> (https://bugzilla.balabit.com/attachment.cgi?id=30) Patch to add libtool option -module Libtool 2.2.6 and later provides an option -module which should be used when creating shared libraries which are supposed to be used as modules which get loaded via dlopen. See the "Building modules to dlopen" chapter in `info libtool'. For Cygwin the additional benefit is that the modules are not copied into a parallel "bin" directory at installation time, which is the default otherwise to accommodate the DLL search algorithm on Windows. The attached patch just adds the -module option to each of the Makefile.am files in the modules subdir.

Memory Growth in syslog-ng
by Pramod Pillai 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi I am using syslog-ng 3.1.2 . I am observing that memory is growing approximately 64 MB, every 6 or 7 hours. The growth is consistent. Is this a known issue .

Reading from standard input
by Remy Zandwijk 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi list, I use syslog-ng to create log files from within a script. The script sends the message through a pipe to syslog-ng, which I use as command line tool. In the syslog-ng.conf I created a source which reads the standard input. very simplified: Config: source src { pipe("/dev/fd/0"); }; destination dst { file("/tmp/test.log"); }; log { source(src); destination(dst); }; Called as: echo "test" | /usr/sbin/syslog-ng -f /tmp/syslog-ng.conf This works perfectly in 2.0.9. Now I am in the process of upgrading the system and syslog-ng 3.2.4. With this version of syslog-ng the config file above results in an error: Error opening file for reading; filename='/dev/fd/0', error='Text file busy (26)' Error initializing source driver; source='src', id='src#0' Error initializing message pipeline; I tried several things to get rid of this error, like replacing 'pipe' in 'file', but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Regards, Remy

Re: [syslog-ng] log file size limit

When the log file grows above certain size syslog-ng switches to a new one and renames the old one. Further processing (such as compression) should be done externally. I posted that patch in this list quite some time ago, but as far as I can tell, it went unnoticed... -- Sergei.

[Bug 14] New: Maintain symlinks to current and previous log output files...

This replicates one of the options that I (and others) find useful in cronolog. This has been previously discussed on the syslog-ng mailing list, though apparently nothing fully came of it. The archive of that discussion is at: https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2002-June/003452.html Obviously, it's probably somewhat of a low priority, but it would be nice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

[PATCH 0/2] More packaging tweaks
by Gergely Nagy 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Two patches will follow, one to disable the "Compile Date" in syslog-ng --version's output, and another to force the tar format used for make dist to ustar. The latter is due to the included libmongo-client library having some long filenames, which hit the 99 char limit when distributed with syslog-ng. Increasing the limit to 255 bytes makes the problem disappear.
