[syslog-ng] - Syslog not logging

4 Oct 2005

      Hello,

I've installed syslog-ng-1.9.5 on Solaris 9 and it appears to startup 
and be running.

root   430     1  0 14:17:46 ?        0:00 /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -f 
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -p /etc/syslog-ng/sy

However, I see no logging in any of the destination files. Is there some 
type of debugging switch to help determine why the logs are not being 
written to?

Thanks for any help,

Kevin

ps. Here is a copy of my syslog-ng.conf file.

# syslog-ng configuration file.
#
# This should behave pretty much like the original syslog on SunOS. But
# it could be configured a lot smarter.
#
# See syslog-ng(8) and syslog-ng.conf(5) for more information.
