Hi,

Please find the output of the command as below :

-----------------------------------

~ # syslog-ng -Fedtv
[2019-09-26T12:20:03.417562] Unable to detect fully qualified hostname for localhost, use_fqdn() will use the short hostname;
[2019-09-26T12:20:03.417956] Error opening configuration file; filename='//etc/syslog-ng.conf', error='Failed to open file ▒“
//etc/syslog-ng.conf▒”: No such file or directory'
~ #

-----------------------------------

Actually the file location is different in our target system, we are executing the command as below :

# /sbin/syslog-ng -f /tandberg/persistent/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid

-----------------------------------

Regards,

D Pal

Hi,

Could you run syslog-ng with -Fedtv flags and share the output?

Best regards,

Attila

Hi All,

Sorry to send the mail to all as I am not aware about individual email id.

I am trying to upgrade syslog-ng from 3.11.1 to 3.23.1 on Linux and finding some issues as below.

I have changed few parameters like version, include, but at present getting error with file() configuration.

I have attached the syslog-ng.conf file for your kind perusal.

Please give your suggestion on the modified config file.
