Hello Linn, I am sorry, but I haven't noticed your message before. (My email client mixed it because of the subject.) Could you please elaborate on the statement "fails to work"? What are the symptoms? Syslog-ng fails to start, or it is working differently than what you expect? Starting Syslog-ng with debugging enabled, might help to pinpoint the problem. ./syslog-ng -Fdevt -F, --foreground Do not go into the background after initialization -v, --verbose Be a bit more verbose -d, --debug Enable debug messages -t, --trace Enable trace messages -e, --stderr Log messages to stderr Best regards, Laci ________________________________ From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> on behalf of Linn, William <wlinn@bofa.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2021 16:08 To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] syslog-ng Digest, Vol 195, Issue 7 CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
