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.
