If it's not there, you should update your PATH variable, like this: export PATH=/usr/share/java/gradle-2.11/bin:$PATH Gradle can download you all the necessary JAR files. If you want to use the local files from another directory, you need to edit modules/java-modules/build.gradle before compilation.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the quick response. The admin guide and your blog only mentioned to install gradle, which I did, but no mention of how to use it to build Java modules. I am not a software developer and have not heard/use gradle before. It will be very kind and helpful of you if you can provide me the steps how to do so. And any additional steps I need to do for compilation after the Java modules created. I also try your syslog-ng-java-hack-1.0-1.el6.x86_64.rpm. I copy all the jars files to /usr/local/lib/syslog-ng/java-modules and then run "configure" but the Java module is still not included. What is the correct steps if I use the provided jar files?

Reg; Syslog-ng does not recognize the audit facility
by Justin Kala 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

Hi Syslog-ng is unable to recognize the facility audit. When I put filter as audit and restart syslog-ng it errors out. When I put the facility code as 13 ,it does not error on restarting the service but does not capture the syslog message received through this filter code 13 as well. Please advise. -- Kaladhar

Virtual Client
by amey jain 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

Hi, I was reading documentation on syslog-ng. I got the fact that there are three operation modes:Sever,client and relay mode. I want to know how to test these modes on my computer. Simple way out, I have a single computer and I want to run syslog-ng server then how will I make virtual clients on the same computer. How will I run both syslog server and syslog client on my same computer for developing it? Regards Amey Jain
