I see AUDIT facility defined in /usr/include/sys/syslog.h on syslog-ng server side and the sending server as well. #define LOG_KERN (0<<3) /* kernel messages */ #define LOG_USER (1<<3) /* random user-level messages */ #define LOG_MAIL (2<<3) /* mail system */ #define LOG_DAEMON (3<<3) /* system daemons */ #define LOG_AUTH (4<<3) /* security/authorization messages */ #define LOG_SYSLOG (5<<3) /* messages generated internally by syslogd */ #define LOG_LPR (6<<3) /* line printer subsystem */ #define LOG_NEWS (7<<3) /* netnews subsystem */ #define LOG_UUCP (8<<3) /* uucp subsystem */ *#define LOG_AUDIT (13<<3) /* audit subsystem */* #define LOG_CRON (15<<3) /* cron/at subsystem */ On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 12:41 PM, Evan Rempel <erempel@uvic.ca> wrote:
Can you look at the syslog facility definitions
/usr/include/sys/syslog.h
or
/usr/include/syslog.h
to see if audit is a defined facility?

Hi Evan..thanks for the reply but both sending and receiving servers are same OS.. Solaris 10 On Jul 28, 2015 12:18 PM, "Evan Rempel" <erempel@uvic.ca> wrote:
Well, that is probably because the host where syslog-ng was compiled is a different OS than that where the "audit" facility log line was created.
For instance, on a Linux host, the syslog.h file from the system only has these facilities defined.
CODE facilitynames[] = { { "auth", LOG_AUTH }, { "authpriv", LOG_AUTHPRIV }, { "cron", LOG_CRON }, { "daemon", LOG_DAEMON }, { "ftp", LOG_FTP }, { "kern", LOG_KERN }, { "lpr", LOG_LPR }, { "mail", LOG_MAIL }, { "mark", INTERNAL_MARK }, /* INTERNAL */ { "news", LOG_NEWS }, { "security", LOG_AUTH }, /* DEPRECATED */ { "syslog", LOG_SYSLOG }, { "user", LOG_USER }, { "uucp", LOG_UUCP }, { "local0", LOG_LOCAL0 }, { "local1", LOG_LOCAL1 }, { "local2", LOG_LOCAL2 }, { "local3", LOG_LOCAL3 }, { "local4", LOG_LOCAL4 }, { "local5", LOG_LOCAL5 }, { "local6", LOG_LOCAL6 }, { "local7", LOG_LOCAL7 },
with values of
/* facility codes */ #define LOG_KERN (0<<3) /* kernel messages */ #define LOG_USER (1<<3) /* random user-level messages */ #define LOG_MAIL (2<<3) /* mail system */ #define LOG_DAEMON (3<<3) /* system daemons */ #define LOG_AUTH (4<<3) /* security/authorization messages */ #define LOG_SYSLOG (5<<3) /* messages generated internally by syslogd */ #define LOG_LPR (6<<3) /* line printer subsystem */ #define LOG_NEWS (7<<3) /* network news subsystem */ #define LOG_UUCP (8<<3) /* UUCP subsystem */ #define LOG_CRON (9<<3) /* clock daemon */ #define LOG_AUTHPRIV (10<<3) /* security/authorization messages (private) */ #define LOG_FTP (11<<3) /* ftp daemon */
/* other codes through 15 reserved for system use */ #define LOG_LOCAL0 (16<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL1 (17<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL2 (18<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL3 (19<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL4 (20<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL5 (21<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL6 (22<<3) /* reserved for local use */ #define LOG_LOCAL7 (23<<3) /* reserved for local use */
so there is no audit facility.
Hope that explains it.

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
