This happened either because you did not rerun the configure script, or not regenerated it using autoconf. The other problems are that for some reason your libl.so library does not seem to match the lexing code in syslog-ng. Although libl.so on other platforms seems to be ok, maybe on HP-UX this is not the case. Could you try installing GNU flex and verify that syslog-ng links to libfl.{so,a} instead of libl.so ? -- Bazsi --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 12:13:03 +0200 From: "W.

(See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282782) A nul character at the end of an UDP transferred log message is included in the actual syslog file. In the terminal window the character is shown as ^@.

http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference/x737.html has this: destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages" log_fifo_size(1000); }; ...but it's missing a closing parenthesis, should look like this: destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages" log_fifo_size(1000) ); }; I know it's being picky, but it is the reference manual after all. ;)

what chars are really supported by syslog?
by Jason Haar 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

[More of a general syslog question than syslog-ng but...] I am using syslog to record certain information that can include 8bit chars. I appear to have no problems with syslog-ng - it all just works. However, I am concerned that some "other" syslog daemons might do gross things if weird chars were pushed into them. So I want my syslog calls to "clean" the data down to (near) the lowest common denominator (without being really stupid - like "only allow 7bit ASCII") Are their any ranges of chars I should strip out - beside the obvious NULLs and CR/LF? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Re: [syslog-ng]trouble configuring syslog-ng with libraries
by John Thrumston 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

I have done just that, I have version 1.6.5 put when I try and configure it, it tells me that it found libol 0.3.14 and tells me checking libol version >= 0.3.14... configure: error: libol-config not found in the specified location. So I tried the ./configure --with-libol=/usr/local/lib and that still gave me the same result. not sure what to do now.

RE: [syslog-ng]Logging Java stack traces with syslog-ng and log4j
by Vaibhav Goel 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Yes the stack trace is multiple lines. We are actually using log4j to log the traces locally as well as over a custom TCP appender which hooks up to syslog-ng and sends the logs to the loghost. This is how I was able to find the problem. The exception error showed up on both the local log as well as the syslog-ng produced log but stack trace after the error did not show up (as you mentioned syslog-ng should match each and every line). I do have logsurfer on the app server however I don’t think I would know the initial line of the stack trace since its arbirtrary depending on the error. I hear ya on the STDOUT newline issue. I think I did run into that once where I was feeding stdin from syslog-ng to a perl script...

Syslog messages are single lines - and so syslog-ng's filters match one line at a time. You need to match each and every line or just have the java app log to a file and parse it. If you have swatch or logsurfer or SEC or something the you can probably see the initial line of the stack trace and and look for the rest of the message and send the whole thing via email/snmp trap/pager/mon trap/whatever. Are you just feeding STDOUT of the app server into logger or something? I hope it doesn't send messages with newlines in them into openlog()/syslog().

I am still having trouble with this. I am working on it. One question I have that I don't see answered anywhere (maybe I am just blind). But do you have to run syslog-ng on each server you want to log to the logserver? Is this something I have to do for each of my machines? I am not sure I completely understand the process.

Bug: nul chars at end of log lines
by W. Borgert 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hi, I reported this on 2004-11-24 as Debian bug against version 1.6.4, but I'm curious, whether problem is known on other platforms, too. (See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282782) A nul character at the end of an UDP transferred log message is included in the actual syslog file. In the terminal window the character is shown as ^@. Two problems: It looks ugly and it makes the file look "binary" to tools such as grep, which does not print lines anymore, but says "Binary file matches" :-( A test script to (< 15 lines of code) reproduce the behaviour can be downloaded from here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/logtest.py?bug=282782&msg=3&at… Don't forget to enable udp() as source, if you run the test. Cheers, WB
