I was testing syslog-ng compiled with spoof_source compiled in. This was the premium version used in evaluation mode.
When I use the spoof_source option to relay log data, syslog-ng will not allow me to write data locally. Is this the case whenever syslog-ng is using spoof_source acting a relay. Is it possible to write the data locally on the relay host?
The premium edition starts in relay/client mode without a license. In this mode messages received from the network cannot be written to disk locally, of course disk buffer is not affected by this restriction, e.g. you can do things like: network messages -> relay (disk buffer) -> network Spoof source is completely independent of the above case, it is only used when sending out messages.
