Hi there,

I'm working on using syslog-ng within our environment mainly due to the ability to use syslog with tcp. I will be traversing firewalls and therefore the tcp-keep-alive() option is vital for me. However when I try to turn this on in my tcp source it gives me a syntax error. I have pasted in the relevant part of the config below. I'm pretty sure I have it right. The strange thing is that when I search the source code for the option I can't find anything as if it has been removed from version 2.0 (the version I'm using).

Does anyone know what may have happened to the tcp-keep-alive option in version 2.0 and, if I'm right and it isn't there, what are the options in syslog-ng that I could use to prevent the sessions timing out on firewalls?

source testsrc {
 tcp( ip(0.0.0.0) port(5514)
 max-connections(300)
 keep-alive(yes)
 tcp-keep-alive(yes)
 );
};

Thanks.
