I use a local source like this:

source local {
        sun-streams("/dev/log");
        udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
        internal();
};

Seems that at some point I started leaving off the "door" part. My
version control logs don't specify why, bummer. Give it a shot like
that.

I don't know if I ever got my solaris boxes onto syslog-ng version 3.x
though. Give this a quick shot and see if it makes things any better
with your version.

Thanks for pointing that out.. I did find the correct door file:
Drw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 21 09:36 /var/run/syslog_door

I fixed the config and bounced syslog-ng but still not getting any log
messages.. Looking at the stats I do see where there are logs coming from
the internal() source:
'source(s_internal)=6', processed='center(queued)=0',
processed='destination(l_internal)=6'
Jul 21 09:34:56 asglogpup01 syslog-ng[8865]: Log statistics;
processed='center(received)=0', processed='destination(l_messages)=0',
processed='source(s_streams)=26', processed='src.internal(s_internal#0)=8',
stamp='src.internal(s_internal#0)=1279729796',
processed='source(s_internal)=8', processed='center(queued)=0',
processed='destination(l_internal)=8'

Anyone have any ideas?

Thx,
CC

I had to set up some solaris boxes several months ago with syslog and had
trouble getting the exact config as well. Unfortunately those boxes are now
gone so I cant pull the configuration off them, but I do know that
/etc/.syslog_door was not the door file. I believe it was
/var/run/syslog_door

Subject: [syslog-ng] Messages Not Getting Logged

Hello,

I am using the sunfreeware build of syslog-ng 3.04 on a Solaris 10 Update
8 system:
syslog-ng 3.0.4
Revision:
ssh+git://bazsi@git.balabit//var/scm/git/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-ose--mainline--3.0#master#1b5d618e301ad94aa20e692ffba16469dece8d10

Enable-Debug: off
Enable-GProf: off
Enable-Memtrace: off
Enable-Sun-STREAMS: on
Enable-Sun-Door: on
Enable-IPv6: on

My internal() source is working but the sun-streams source is not.


Here are my options:
options {
                use_fqdn(no);
                flush_lines(0);
                dir_perm(0755);
                dir_group(sysadmin);
                dir_owner(root);
                perm(0644);
                stats_freq(300);
                use_dns(no);
                create_dirs(yes);
                time_reopen(10);
        };

Here are my sources:

source s_internal       { internal(); };
source s_udp            { udp(); };
source s_tcp            { tcp(); };
source s_streams        { sun-streams ("/dev/log"
door("/etc/.syslog_door")); };

Here are my filters so far:
# Level Filters
filter f_emerg   { level (emerg);            };
filter f_alert   { level (alert .. emerg);   };
filter f_crit    { level (crit .. emerg);    };
filter f_err     { level (err .. emerg);     };
filter f_warning { level (warning .. emerg); };
filter f_notice  { level (notice .. emerg);  };
filter f_info    { level (info .. emerg);    };
filter f_debug   { level (debug .. emerg);   };

# Facility Filters
filter f_kern   { facility (kern);   };
filter f_user   { facility (user);   };
filter f_mail   { facility (mail);   };
filter f_daemon { facility (daemon); };
filter f_auth   { facility (auth);   };
filter f_syslog { facility (syslog); };
filter f_lpr    { facility (lpr);    };
filter f_news   { facility (news);   };
filter f_uucp   { facility (uucp);   };
filter f_cron   { facility (cron);   };
filter f_local0 { facility (local0); };
filter f_local1 { facility (local1); };
filter f_local2 { facility (local2); };
filter f_local3 { facility (local3); };
filter f_local4 { facility (local4); };
filter f_local5 { facility (local5); };
filter f_local6 { facility (local6); };
filter f_local7 { facility (local7); };

Here are my destinations so far:
# Destinations: local files, the console, and the client files
destination l_internal { file ("/var/adm/syslog-ng"); };
destination l_authlog  { file ("/var/log/authlog");   };
destination l_messages { file ("/var/log/messages");  };
destination l_maillog  { file ("/var/log/maillog");   };
destination l_ipflog   { file ("/var/log/ipflog");    };
destination l_imaplog  { file ("/var/log/imaplog");   };
destination l_syslog   { file ("/var/log/syslog");    };

destination l_console  { file ("/dev/console");       };

Here are my log statements:

log { source (s_internal);      destination (l_internal); }; # <==== this
one is working
log { source (s_streams);       filter (f_kern); filter (f_debug);
destination (l_messages); };  #<====== this on is not working

I have tried the following logger tests and am not getting anything
logged:
logger -p kern.debug "some message"
logger -p kern.crit "some message"
logger -p kern.info "some message"

I have restarted syslog-ng and ensured that it is using my most recent
syslog-ng.conf file.


Thanks for any help,
CC
