Hi list,

I have the following configuration in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file on OpenSuSE 11.0 64 bit system.

# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); perm(0640); stats(3600); };

source src {

        internal();

        unix-stream("/dev/log");

        unix-dgram("/dev/log");

};

destination d_filepath_10 { file("/tmp/syslog" fsync(yes)); };

filter f_filter_10 {level(debug .. emerg); };

log { source(src); filter(f_filter_10); destination(d_filepath_10); };

I don’t see any log messaged being logged to /tmp/syslog file. Though, I restarted the syslog daemon, there is not effect.

I went through some syslog-ng examples available on internet such as the one below, but still I don’t see syslog-ng logging to the specified file - /tmp/syslog

# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

options {

        keep_hostname(yes);

        long_hostnames(off);

        sync(1);

        log_fifo_size(1024);

};

source src {

        unix-stream("/dev/log");

        internal();

        udp();

        tcp(port(5140) keep-alive(yes));

};

destination syslog { file("/var/log/syslog"); };

destination debug { file("/var/log/debug"); };

destination messages { file("/tmp/syslog"); };

filter f_messages { level(info .. warn)

        and not facility(auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, mail, news); };

log { source(src); filter(f_messages); destination(messages); };

Please help us on this.

Thanks & Regards,
