Hello together, I'm running a central syslog-ng server and about two dozens clients sending their logs to this server (all redhat). But on some clients syslog-ng doesn't catch the builtin syslog messages. syslog-version: 1.6.0rc4 on all hosts the conf file on my clients: --- options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (yes); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); }; source src_sys { pipe ("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream ("/dev/log"); internal (); }; destination dst_central { tcp('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'); }; destination dst_local { file ("/var/log/all"); }; log { source(src_sys); destination(dst_central); destination(dst_local); }; --- When I execute 'logger test' the message only reaches the local /var/log/all, but not the server. When I execute 'logger -u /dev/log test' the message reaches both destinations. I tried unix-dgram instead of unix-stream, but same problem. I tried udp as transport protocol, but also same problem. I tried same older versions of syslog-ng, but also same problem. Where is my mistake? With kind regards, Joerg Michels
