Hi,
I am facing problem in remote logging though is working very fine locally.
please advise me what to do and where I am missing something. the details I am giving below.
I have one target linux system (set top box) and one host Linux Desktop Machine. the syslogd and logging working fine on both target as well as on PC(host) machine individually .
I have scenario, I have to run program on target machine. And I have to collect the log on PC(host) console as well as in some file say /tmp/log.
I have started $syslogd -r on both the machines. the syslog.conf file on the machines are like this.
target >> syslong.conf local0.* @ip.address (PC-Host machine)
PC(host) >> syslog.conf local0.err /dev/console local0.* /tmp/log
in process list syslogd shows like "syslogd -r" I have already run many times $ kill -SIGHUP /var/run/syslog.pid on both machine.
even though it is not working
Although this is quite unrelated to syslog-ng I'd like to help. My first guess is that your program doesn't log using the local0 facility. You should run it under strace/ truss and check which facility it is using. When it writes to /dev/log then there is the facility/priority shown as a decimal number enclosed within angle brackets. Divide the number with 8, the result is the facility. You can look up the codes in /usr/include/syslog.h (or /usr/include/sys/syslog.h) and adjust syslog.conf if needed.
