hi, I am new in syslog-ng. I want to make my syslog-ng.conf file in such way so it can collect data from remote and local process. After modifying the syslog-ng.conf i am able to collect the log, but problem is am getting the log with localhost insteed of local server ip and remote server ip. But if i restart the syslo-ng and the process then am getting log with my server ip for only that particular process that i have restarted. Could anyone plese let me know why i have to restart the syslog-ng and daemons/processes everytime, though i did not make any change in syslog-ng.conf file. I prepared the bootable iso with my syslog-ng changes so syslog-ng and daemons should pick up my cganges when i install os on the server. Am ii missing something in syslog-ng.conf file or i need to add something in each precess/daemon? Below is code for collect local-remore log. udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); destination remote {udp("remote server ip" port(514));}; log { source(all); destination(remote); }; Thanks Masami
