We are using version 1.6.0rc4 As part of our regression testing we attempt to send a log message to a host that is non-existent (123.124.125.126) We expect to see in our log the error message Connection Broken, we are not seeing that. here is the parts of our conf file that are relevant destination tcsvlogfile { file("/var/log/svlogtc"); }; destination badsyslogsrvr { udp("123.124.125.126" port(514)); }; filter f_ic17 { match( "ic_17 test message" ); }; log { source(src); filter(f_ic17); destination(badsyslogsrvr); }; log { source(src); destination(tcsvlogfile); }; Now when I send the command logger "ic_17 test message" I see the corresponding "ic_17 test message" message in /var/log/svlogtc but I do not see the error that it could not send the message to badsyslogsrvr. i.e. Connection Broken ... Are error messages from syslog-ng not logged ( I could understand this as it could end up in a nasty recursion loop) Thanks. Richard Legault Senior Engineer 519-880-2400 ext 2722 www.sandvine.com
