I am trying to send logs over our network but am having trouble with the rules. I have set up a host to accept the logs and I am trying to set up the sender. This is the destination rule so far. destination d_bg { tcp(ip(192.168.1.19) port(514)); }; When I try to start syslog-ng it gives me this error. parse error at 31 Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. Line 31 is the above rule. This is the complete config of syslog-ng so far. options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (on); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (yes); keep_hostname (yes); }; source s_sys { unix-stream ("/dev/log"); internal(); }; destination d_cons { file("/var/log/ng/kern.log"); }; destination d_mesg { file("/var/log/ng/messages"); }; destination d_auth { file("/var/log/ng/secure"); }; destination d_mail { file("/var/log/ng/maillog"); }; destination d_spol { file("/var/log/ng/spooler"); }; destination d_boot { file("/var/log/ng/boot.log"); }; destination d_mlal { file("/var/log/ng/emerg.log"); }; destination d_dhcp { file("/var/log/ng/dhcpd.log"); }; destination d_ipchains { file("/var/log/ng/ipchains.log"); }; destination d_bg { tcp(ip(192.168.1.19) port(514)); }; filter f_filter1 { facility(kern); }; filter f_filter2 { level(info); }; 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_dhcp { match("dhcpd"); }; filter f_ipchains { match("ipchains"); }; filter f_tcplog { level(debug); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter1); destination(d_cons); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter2); destination(d_mesg); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter3); destination(d_auth); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter4); destination(d_mail); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter5); destination(d_mlal); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter6); destination(d_spol); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_dhcp); destination(d_dhcp); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_ipchains); destination(d_ipchains); }; log { source(s_sys); filter(f_tcplog); destination(d_bg); }; Any help would be appreciated. sim
