Hi! I am new to syslog-ng. I tried to configure the daemon, obviously not with great success. I will past the part form my .conf file and would like to ask, why isn't the logging working. #I have enabled this option. source src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal(); file("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix(" kernel: ")); udp( port(514) ); }; #A new destination destination local0{ file("/var/log/test/syslog-net-$HOST/$DAY$MONTH$YEAR/$FACILITY" owner("root") group("adm") perm (0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));}; filter loc_network{ facility(local0,local1,local2,local3,local4,local5,local6,local7);}; log { source(src);filter(f_syslog);filter(loc_network);destination(local0);}; As you' ve might seen, I try to get even every syslog message in the same dir, but it just doesn't works. Could it be a problem, that I haven't created the directory 'test' ? cheers Dian ------------------------------------------------------------- Windows 95/NT - 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
