Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have some diagnostic tips to offer to diagnose why syslog messages are not being received?

I have syslog-ng on a few servers but one is losing messages (others syslog-ng servers might be dropping that I am unaware off).

Not sure if there is some options I should add to the conf or diag commands or load specifications I should check?

Options:
options {

chain_hostnames(no);

create_dirs (yes);

dir_perm(0755);

dns_cache(yes);

keep_hostname(yes);

log_fifo_size(2048);

log_msg_size(8192);

perm(0644);

time_reopen (10);

use_dns(yes);

use_fqdn(yes);

flush_lines(100);

};

Also adding the flag-control flag to the log stanza.

Thanks

Daniel
