All: This question refers to syslog-ng 2.0.10 running on AIX. If I use a global syslog-ng client file and define 2 text files that do not exist on every system. What happens when syslog-ng is run on a system that does not contain the files? Does it report errors, have performance problems? Example: source s_tail1 { file("/var/apache/log/access_log" follow_freq(1) flags(no-parse)); }; source s_tail2 { file("/var/apache/log/error_log" follow_freq(1) flags(no-parse)); }; Please advise, Jim ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
