Glad to hear that fixed it. I just posted a new version of logzilla a few minutes ago with some fixes for the cache update on larger systems. http://php-syslog-ng.googlecode.com/files/logzilla_v2.9.9o.tgz I'll try to address this issue in the next release. Thanks! On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 12:42 AM, Patrick Smith <patrick@paypros.com> wrote:
Clayton, you were right. With debugging on I was seeing that mysql.sock error and replacing $dbhost in config.php with the mysql_sock line you suggested fixed the issue.
My best guess as to why this is happening is a difference between mysql 5.0 and 5.1. Looking at my original post I failed to mention that the Community MySQL version I have on my RHEL4 boxes is MySQL-server-community-5.1.39-0.rhel4, while the RedHat mysql version on my RHEL5 box is mysql-server-5.0.77-3.el5.
Thanks!

Ok, I'm back @ home. Here are a couple of suggestions: Make sure you set DEBUG to TRUE in logzilla's config.php and restart syslog-ng Check /var/log/logzilla/db_insert.log for an errors Also, if you have the latest version of logzilla (v2.9.9n), there is a selftest option of the db_insert.pl script, just run "./db_insert.pl -s"
You may also find the following thread useful: http://groups.google.com/group/php-syslog-ng-support/browse_thread/thread/aa...
If you are getting something like this: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)"
Then you will need to modify db_insert.pl and change the connect string to: my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:$db:mysql_socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock", $dbuser, $dbpass)
I don't know what's causing this, but only people running syslog-ng v3.0 have reported it so far.
Please let me know if you get it working. Also, to post to the php-syslog-ng list, please go here: http://groups.google.com/group/php-syslog-ng-support

Hi, I realize this is a syslog-ng users list but I know many of you are using/developing php-syslog-ng/logzilla as well so I thought I'd post the question here. I did a fresh install of syslog-ng on 3 servers, all running installed via rpm, but on one server the mysql pipe isn't working successfully.
2 servers are 64-bit RHEL4, syslog-ng-3.0.4-1.el4 (rpm), remote MySQL community server (mysql pipe works)
1 is 64-bit RHEL5, syslog-ng-3.0.4-1.el5 (rpm), local RedHat MySQL server (mysql pipe is not inserting messages)
The pipe is taken direct from the php-syslog-ng wiki installation guide:
destination d_mysql {
program("/var/www/logzilla/scripts/db_insert.pl"
template("$HOST\t$FACILITY\t$PRIORITY\t$LEVEL\t$TAG\t$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY\t$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC\t$PROGRAM\t$MSG\n")
);
};
destination d_localfiles {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/$PROGRAM-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY.log");
};
log { source(s_remote); filter(f_allsystem); destination(d_mysql); };
log { source(s_remote); filter(f_allsystem); destination(d_localfiles); };
I have the same syslog-ng.conf file on all 3 hosts. Everything seems to be working normally, the logs just aren't making it into the RHEL5 mysql db.
- Syslog messages are being received and written to local files.
- Test access to mysql syslog DB as syslogadmin and sysloguser works fine. Correct passwds are in config file.
- Test run of DBGen.pl works normally and the log messages are searchable in the logzilla UI.
- No error messages in syslog-ng.log, mysqld.log, or logzilla logs.
Any ideas as to how to further troubleshoot would be appreciated.
