I put the new rule in and it didn't give any errors when I started it. But there seems to be another problem. I don't know why but it looks like the daemon doesn't even start. I restart it with the bootup script and everything appears to run OK but then I do a "ps ax" and the process isn't there. I then start it manually and it gives me this error. Error creating AF_INET socket (Success) Error initializing configuration, exiting. What is this? sim Balazs Scheidler wrote:
I am trying to send logs over our network but am having trouble with the rules. I have set up a host to accept the logs and I am trying to set up the sender. This is the destination rule so far.
destination d_bg { tcp(ip(192.168.1.19) port(514)); };
When I try to start syslog-ng it gives me this error.
I came across this also, this statement works (maybe someone should finally update the docs?):
destination loggingserver { tcp("1.2.3.4" port(514)); };
Destination and sources differ in their syntax. A destination TCP driver uses a positional 'destination host' argument, a source doesn't.
