RE: [syslog-ng]no logging

9 Jan 2005

      Thanks for all your help. Syslog-ng is running and collected all my log
info.

BTW
I have been to that bar many times.

Try removing the filter in the log{} line for troubleshooting purposes.

Anything logging to udp 514 on that box should be logged to the
60HUDSONST file.  Then from there you can spend some time getting the
filters just right.
Make sure your dirs are setup [/var/syslog-ng/host] as create_dirs is
set to no in your optoins.

Oh, also FYI--Theres a small dive bar across the street if you start
to get too frusterated.  ;)  (I've spent a few nights in 60 hudson
[~7-9 years ago].)

And Here is a the router syslog commands

logging facility local6
logging 192.168.11.28
Any ideas why nothing is being logged on the syslog-ng server
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
