Re: [syslog-ng] Can't get kernel messages on FreeBSD

I installed syslog-ng3.3.6_3 using ports on FreeBSD9.0-RELEASE(i386). I can't get kernel messages by default configuration. ex. em0: link state changed to DOWN em0: link state changed to UP

But, I can see them using 'cat /dev/klog' after stoppedsyslog-ng. So, I think syslog-ng can't get kermel messages from /dev/klog.

This should be fixed in 3.3.7RC2 (or 3.3.6.91), sysutils/syslog-ng-rc from ports should make upgrading easy.

source s_kern { file("/dev/klog"); };

You might want to use the system() source here, or add a few flags to this: file("/dev/klog" follow-freq(0) program-override("kernel") flags(no-parse)); -- |8]
