Hello folks, Could somebody help me with this error message I am getting when trying to run SYSLOG-NG? Error message: No source refers to internal messages, they will go to /dev/null unresolved reference:src Error initializing configuration, exiting. Here is my setup. I installed syslog-ng version 1.6.0 r3 on my FreeBSD 4.8 box. The overall plan is to collect log messages sent to by NTSyslog from a Windows 2000 box to SYSLOG-NG on the FreeBSD 4.8 box. For a test I have been starting and stopping a telnet service on my Windows 2000 box to pick up these events in the telnetlog file which I created on my FreeBSD computer. Both syslog-ng and syslog-ng.conf file are located in /etc of the FreeBSD box. I am logged in as root. syslog.conf file looks like this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> options {sync(0); };
source src_udp {udp(10.101.54.2) port(514); }; destination telnet_d {file ("/var/log/telnetlog"); } ; log {source (src_udp); destination (telnet_t); };
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I run syslog-ng manually from inside /etc and get the error message listed above. Does the error message I am getting relate to syntax of the syslog-ng.conf or something else? Should I add a filter entry ...inside log statement argument? for it to lool like >>>>>> log {source (src_udp); filter (DEFAUILT); destination (telnet_t); }; ??? I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please send a copy of your response to rex@piva.net. Thank you, Ruben Saroukhanian
