OS: SLes 11 sp4 syslog-ng: syslog-ng-2.0.9-27.34.39.2 Hi, syslog-ng is configured to read from a application log file and then send it to another file in /var/log (tcpdump is not installed, I cant install it on a blackbox so this is how I test my config) I have the following in my syslog-ng configuration file: source ESRS { file("/opt/esrsve/gateway/xGate.log"); }; destination esrsfile{ file("/var/log/max.log" );}; log { source(ESRS); destination(esrsfile); }; The problem I am seeing is that when syslog writes to the outputfile (esrsfile) it truncatedthe lines. ex: Source File : [ 0, 6, 1, 1007] 08-29-2016 13:56:28.703 IMPORTANT INFO EDDEMC: Data Item::PMStatus Current Value::Offline And the destination file looiks like this: ... ...
