Hi all, logmessages are being written to the AIX default syslog daemon which forwards certain messages to syslog ng via a named pipe "/var/adm/syslog.pipe" The log messages are being written to the destination "localfile" but not to the remote syslog ng logging server. Any idea what's going wrong here ? the exact same "syslog-ng.conf" works with a HP-UX or Solaris based Syslog NG Installation without any problem. Setup: Syslog NG: 1.6.9 with libol 0.3.17 System: AIX 5.1 ML8 and AIX 5.3 ML 3 central logging server is a linux based syslog NG 1.6.9 which can successfully receive log messages from other (non aix) hosts. syslog-ng.conf: ############## # Log sources # source src { pipe ("/var/adm/syslog.pipe"); }; ############## # filters # filter f_sshd {program("sshd"); }; ############## # Log destinations destination mylogserver{ tcp("logserver" port(514)); }; destination localfile{ file("/var/tmp/messages" template("$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $HOST $MSG\n") template-escape(yes )); }; ############## # Perform the logging log { source(src); filter(f_sshd); destination(mylogserver); }; log { source(src); filter(f_sshd); destination(localfile); }; regards Jochen
