I've been trying to get both 1.4.11 and 1.5.7 to run on my Solaris system, and have met with limited success. Compiling and installing were fairly easy, as was creating a configuration file. I understand from the docs that the mark() feature still doesn't work, and from the mailing list that sync_freq() should actually be sync(). I am having trouble, however, with flushing output in low-volume scenarios. Here is the configuration file I am using: options { use_dns(no); log_fifo_size(XXX); gc_idle_threshold(YYY); gc_busy_threshold(ZZZ); use_time_recvd(yes); }; source sun { sun-streams ( "/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); }; destination testout { file ( "/var/adm/testout.txt" sync(WWW)); } ; log { source (sun); destination (testout); }; I've tried various values for WWW, XXX, YYY, and ZZZ, even setting WWW to 1. I have not been able to influence syslog-ng to write out every message it receives. Does anyone have any pointers on what I might want to try next to get syslog-ng to more reliably receive and log messages on Solaris? Thanks. _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/
