[syslog-ng]logs are not generated and managed by syslog-ng but it is started properly

9 Mar 2005

      Dear All,

I am trying to configure syslog-ng package for
managing logs, but there is some where something wrong
in my configuration such that it is not generatinglogs

below file is quite long

#vi /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

    code:

options { sync (0);
          time_reopen (10);
          log_fifo_size (1000);
          long_hostnames (on);
          use_fqdn (yes);
          create_dirs (no);
          chain_hostnames(no);
          keep_hostname (yes);
          perm(0644);
          dir_perm(0755);
        };

Any guess , why it is not managing log, no new logs
have been added to log directory, as
/var/log/messages doens't contains any new message
after i configured syslog-ng but if i will restart my
syslog(the default that comes with redhat) it will
start adding new logs to /var/log/messages. . ......
