Hi Bill,

Thanks for the response . When I tried the following it didn't seem to
work. The remote host doesn't show any logs .

source postgreslog {file("/home/postgres/data_log-8_4_1"); };
destination postgresloghost { udp("192.168.1.8" port(5140)); };
log { source(postgreslog);  destination(postgresloghost); };

Are you really sure that your psql logs come from "/home/postgres/data_log-8_4_1"?
You can run syslog-ng with "-Fevd" options to watch what syslog-ng reads from this file (to check this just send a plain text line to this file and you should see it on the screen of syslog-ng)

But the following works :

filter f_postgres { facility(local0) and match('postgres'); };
destination postgresloghost { udp("192.168.1.8" port(5140)); };
log { source(src); filter(f_postgres);  destination(postgresloghost);
flags(final); };

Can you show me your full source src{...} line in config? Because your psql logs seem to be coming from /dev/log


What could be wrong ? I have also noticed that the remote syslog
server logs these messages in its /var/log/messages file also . Can
this be prevented ?

Yes because your sources also should be splitted to different destinations.
For example:
source s_net {udp(port(5140));};
destination psql_file{file("/var/log/psql.log");};
log {source(s_net);destination(psql_file);};

Thank you

Sure, it's very easy. Create a source stanza for the files you want to
monitor. Create a destination stanza for the host you want to send to. Add
another log stanza containing them both.

source mysqllog { file("/var/lib/mysql/mysql.err" log_prefix("mysql: "); };
destination mysqlloghost { udp("192.168.1.1" port (514)); };
log{ source(mysqllog); destination(mysqlloghost); };

Hi,

Is it possible to log only a particular logs to a remote syslog server
? For example logging only mysql/postgres logs to a remote host .
syslog-ng version used is syslog-ng 1.6.8

Thank you.
