I get the logs to split out by hostname year etc. but I get multiple entries in a log file the higher the level. The idea was to log a facility per file so I expected a single entry in the log file which I guess was a woring assumption.
I don't understand you exactly. Higher priority messages are sent multiple times?
Is there a way to stop the following from happening: client> logger -p auth.emerg EMERG
server> tail <log> Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG
and replace it with a single line of: Apr 1 18:20:00 cdm010 nickc: [ID 702911 auth.emerg] EMERG
syslog-ng prints as many messages as it receives, no message aggregation is done (e.g. last message repeated NN times) And syslog-ng sends messages to all matching destinations. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
