Re: [syslog-ng]kernel logging

Not true without clarification. syslog-ng can be configured to read kernel messages with

source kernel_file { file("/proc/kmsg"); };

didn't know that. I don't know if I like it though :/

If you have klogd running and read kernel messages with syslong-ng they will block each other and nevermind logging, it stops as they deadlock on the file descriptor.

I fought this for a while.

I tend to like treating syslog-ng as a replacement for syslogd and not for both. but thanks for the tip. -sv
