I have make a syslog-ng server and the clients are pushing their syslog (by default daemon) messages to syslog-ng server. The logs are fine on the server but I am unable to view the logs on the clients dmesg(/var/adm/messages).
I m interested to have the logs on both sides...I mean on the syslog-ng server and on the clients it self.
The clients have /etc/syslog.conf as under. =====================/etc/syslog.conf===================== *.err;kern.notice;auth.notice @loghost #*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit @loghost *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err operator *.alert root *.emerg * mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost) mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost) ifdef(`LOGHOST', , user.err @loghost user.err /dev/sysmsg user.err @loghost user.err /var/adm/messages user.alert `root, operator' user.emerg * ) ======================================================
The most common cause of errors on Solaris with syslog.conf is not using tabs as the delimiter. People often use spaces accidentally, and syslogd will silently fail to log. -- Nate "UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus." - Peter H.
