Re: [syslog-ng]Trying to send log over network

...

I am trying to send logs over our network but am having trouble with the rules. I have set up a host to accept the logs and I am trying to set up the sender. This is the destination rule so far.

destination d_bg { tcp(ip(192.168.1.19) port(514)); };

When I try to start syslog-ng it gives me this error.

I came across this also, this statement works (maybe someone should finally update the docs?):

destination loggingserver { tcp("1.2.3.4" port(514)); };

Destination and sources differ in their syntax. A destination TCP driver uses a positional 'destination host' argument, a source doesn't. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
