I have been beating my head against a wall getting this to work but no joy. Syslog-ng is running and logging on the local system but no remote logs are being saved. Devices in question are PIX firewalls and NetCache proxies. Here is a netstat: netstat -l Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 cscnet08p:smtp *:* LISTEN udp 0 0 *:syslog *:* udp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* Active UNIX domain sockets (only servers) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1512 /dev/gpmctl unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 93129 /dev/log Here is my config: options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (on); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (yes); keep_hostname (on); }; source s_udp { udp(); }; source s_sys { pipe ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: ")); unix-stream ("/dev/log"); internal(); }; destination rlog { file("/var/log/$HOST/$MONTH.$DAY.log" create_dirs(yes) owner("log") group("log") perm(0600)); }; destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); }; destination d_mesg { file("/var/log/messages"); }; destination d_auth { file("/var/log/secure"); }; destination d_mail { file("/var/log/maillog"); }; destination d_spol { file("/var/log/spooler"); }; destination d_boot { file("/var/log/boot.log"); }; destination d_cron { file("/var/log/cron"); }; destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); }; filter f_filter1 { facility(kern); }; filter f_filter2 { level(info) and not (facility(mail) or facility(authpriv) or facility(cron)); }; filter f_filter3 { facility(authpriv); }; filter f_filter4 { facility(mail); }; filter f_filter5 { level(emerg); }; filter f_filter6 { facility(uucp) or (facility(news) and level(crit)); }; filter f_filter7 { facility(local7); }; filter f_filter8 { facility(cron); }; log { source(s_udp); filter(f_filter7); destination(rlog); }; #log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter1); destination(d_cons); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter2); destination(d_mesg); };
