After being less than impressed with the stability of rsyslog, I just discovered syslog-ng and it looks really impressive but a bit overwhelming!
I have a simple configuration with my existing rsyslog set up where it's performing normal system syslog responsibilities but also tagging other log files and then forwarding them to a centralized log server. The examples I've seen for syslog-ng are making my head swim so I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction on how to do the same with syslog-ng.
I don't quite understand the "tagging other log files" part, I'm afraid (but my rsyslog knowledge is... *ahem* lacking). Could you perhaps share the rsyslog config with us? We could then see about how to convert it to a similar syslog-ng.conf. (By the way, an rsyslog.conf->syslog-ng.conf converter has been requested before, and one of these days, I might get around to write it, especially if there's bigger interest in such a tool.) -- |8]
