Hi, Thanks for the help. It works now. My Observation are for HP-UX : 1. If both syslog and syslog-ng daemons are running on the system, then message sent through logger are being captured by syslog daemon only. 2. While in other OS like, AIX, Linux, Solaris message goes to both the file defined in syslog.conf and syslog-ng.conf. 3. So to captured all message on HP-UX to syslog-ng, I need to stop HP-UX's syslog daemon? Please any further comment on my Observation. Am I correct?

Hi
Please can anyone help me how to log message to syslog-ng manually. e.g. in Linux I can log message as # logger "test message" ; and it goes to file defined in syslog-ng.conf(/var/adm/messages),
However in case of HP-UX it is not working as describe above for Linux. Is there any other method to log message manually in HP-UX? Or messages are dropping?
Please suggest.
Thanks Shamimuddin CSC Noida

You have to put the log device with the pad_size into your system source. source s_sys {pipe("/dev/log" pad_size(2048)); internal(); }; It's working on my system so you can try. You can also add the klog device (/dev/klog) with same options than /dev/log.

Hi, I've compile syslog-ng-2.0.2 on HP-UX-11.11, however messages
are not
going to desired destinations as defined in the syslog-ng.conf .
my syslog-ng.conf --------------------------------------------- # syslog-ng configuration file. # # This should behave pretty much like the original syslog on HP-UX. But # it could be configured a lot smarter. # # See syslog-ng(8) and syslog-ng.conf(8) for more information. # # 20000925 gb@sysfive.com options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); }; source s_sys {internal();pipe("/dev/log"); }; destination d_cons { file("/dev/console1"); }; destination d_mesg { file("/var/adm/syslog/syslog-ng.log"); }; destination d_mail { file("/var/adm/syslog/mail-ng.log"); }; destination d_mlrt { usertty("root"); }; destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); }; filter f_filter1 { facility(mail) and level(debug); }; filter f_filter2 { (facility(mail) and level(debug)) or level(info); }; filter f_filter3 { level(alert); }; filter f_filter4 { level(emerg); }; log { source(s_sys); destination(d_mail); }; log { source(s_sys); destination(d_mesg); }; log { source(s_sys); destination(d_cons);destination(d_mlrt); }; log { source(s_sys); destination(d_mlal); }; # -------------------------------------------- Now If I generate message using "logger" utility on system, message should go to "/var/adm/syslog/syslog-ng.log", though they are not going... Is there anything wrong with .conf file?
What should be the conf file for central server and client on HP-UX?
syslog-ng daemon is running like:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
syslog-ng service starting. # ps -eaf |grep syslog-ng root 14437 1 0 10:22:30 ? 0:00 /opt/soe/local/syslog-ng-2.0.2/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/soe/local #
