https://bugzilla.balabit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252 --- Comment #6 from Marc Falzon <marc.falzon@cloudwatt.com> 2013-09-04 15:21:10 --- We have a bunch a log files that are written directly to files by applications that cannot write to syslog directly using syscall syslog(). These files are not seen by the syslog-ng daemon at all, and what I'm trying to do is actually to tail them by the syslog-ng daemon so it can tag them and write them into the /dev/log sock, so that the thread listening to /dev/log (in source s_local with system()) receives the external applications logs the same way applications writing directly to syslog do. I have a filtering pipeline in my syslog-ng setup, then I write some logs locally and I send most of them to a remote loghost: I don't want to write as many log paths sending directly logs to the remote loghost as I have the external applications. Is it clearer that way? m. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
