Hello, I have recently installed syslog-ng OSE 3.1 as log collector and I face a problem. A great number of logs arrive on the server, but a little part of them arrive in the destination files, but all the destination files have some logs on it. I have enabled the verbose mode and I see this: Jul 20 07:52:04 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Initializing destination file writer; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/zidane2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:52:31 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:01 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:01 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Destination timed out, reaping; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/peony2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:01 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Closing log transport fd; fd='31' Jul 20 07:53:01 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Destination timed out, reaping; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/decca2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:01 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Closing log transport fd; fd='19' Jul 20 07:53:16 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Initializing destination file writer; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/hyenne2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:17 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Initializing destination file writer; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/olive2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:31 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Reaping unused destination files; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:31 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Destination timed out, reaping; template='/var/logs/${NSM.DEVICE:-Unknown_device}/${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.YE AR}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.MONTH}${NSM.RECEIVED_TIME.DAY}2400.csv', filename='/var/logs/zidane2/201107202400.csv' Jul 20 07:53:31 sparte1 syslog-ng[2557]: Closing log transport fd; fd='24' I haven't found information about the root cause of these timed out. This seems to be a writing problem. Before using syslog-ng, Logs were processed by a application owned by the firewall publisher on the same type of hardware without this great number of log lost. If any body have already faced this problem and have a solution, it would be wonderful.
