Has anybody ever run syslogd (in either agent or server mode) on the same machine with syslogd running. Any guidance there would be highly appreciated. We are not in the position to do a hard cross over to syslog-ng for our production environment.
Have not done this myself but some hints: The problem is that the message sources (kernel log buffer, syslog socket, UDP ports) should only be read by one daemon. Thus you should use syslogd to receive messages from the regular sources and let it log everything to an additional fifo or a local socket. (The capabilities are system dependend, if your syslogd does not support fifos then you could use socat to pipe to a socket). Then configure syslog-ng to use this new fifo/socket as a source. -- Martin
