Hi David,
I'm still none the wiser. I have hashed out the three lines which start source inputs:
# source inputs { internal(); # sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/var/run/syslog_door")); # tcp(max_connections(1000)); };
As it suggests that this is for Solaris systems only, and Redhat should use the following line:
# For newer versions of Linux (Debian GNU/Linux woody, # and RedHat Linux post 7.0) # source stdlog { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); };
Which I un-hashed. Where would I places the inputs and what would they look like??
Any help very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Adrian.
If you notice, in the lines you comment out for the Solaris only, the name of the source is "inputs", whereas for the newer versions of Linux which you uncommented the name of the source is "stdlog" which you would use in your log statements. -- Best regards, David mailto:dma@pern.co.uk
