https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=265 Summary: syslog-ng does not output the $PID of the process, even when forced Product: syslog-ng Version: 3.4.x Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: unspecified Component: syslog-ng AssignedTo: bazsi@balabit.hu ReportedBy: support@sikkerhed.org Type of the Report: --- Estimated Hours: 0.0 I'm researching syslog-ng, in order to set it up on all my machines, and have them log to a central server on the network. Things are going great, except I can't seem to force syslog-ng to report the $PID of the program that logs, so sometimes I get lines that have missing $PIDS: (anonymized, but based on real log line) 2013-12-05T19:40:44.388099+01:00 web15.example.org pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:x.y.z.w] Whereas I was able to change pureftpd to log with pid: 2013-12-05T19:40:44.639127+01:00 web15.example.org pure-ftpd[872804]: (?@x.y.z.w) [INFO] New connection from x.y.z.w Unfortunately, courier-imap does not have such a logging option. I thought that using $PID in the output template would force syslog-ng to log the PID of the reporting process, but this does not seem to be the case. Is it really true that there is no way to force syslog-ng to report the PID? I know that rsyslog has this feature, but I would much rather use syslog-ng :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
