Assuming you have source {}; and log {}; defined in the file elsewhere.
As for that line... Are you missing a left parans?
I configure it this way: destination remote { tcp ( rem.host.name port (514) ); };
Okay, so I typoed on my one example line (had an extra closing parens right after the address), that comes from emailing on a different computer than I'm setting this up. D'oh! The particular config file I was testing for this particular example was /just/ the one destination line and nothing else, under the theory that even if it didn't want to run with no other entries, it'd parse the line and kick out something other than simply 'syntax error'. I was trying to reduce things to the minimum reproducable case, and you can't get more minimum than that! Putting the same thing in a full config file doesn't change anything but the line number of the syntax error, though, and I did just doublecheck to make sure I had matching sections everywhere. So... I'm confused. -jay

Okay, perhaps I'm an idiot, but with a freshly downloaded and compiled syslog-ng 1.6.6, I get the following:
syslogng.conf (one line long):
destination d_tcp { tcp("10.1.2.3") port(1999); localport(999)); };
(which is, you'll notice, copied directly out of the docs)
But I get:
: [elfchief@bluetail /tmp]% /sbin/syslog-ng --cfgfile=/tmp/syslogng.conf --syntax-only : syntax error at 1 : Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. (line 1)
... and no matter what I put in there (I tried a lot of permutations, and even cut&pasted bits of other people's configs I saw in the mailing list archives), I can't seem to get the option to parse. Am I missing something fundamental here? Given that this is the one feature I'd really like to use syslog-ng for, it'd be nice if I could get it to work!
I appreciate any thoughts anyone cares to share...
