[syslog-ng] Mac OS X 10.4 start config file

17 Jun 2006

      Hi List members,

I Just installed syslog-ng on a Mac OS X 10.4.6 machine trough  
darwinports, but I'm having trouble with the initial config. With the  
config I have now, syslog-ng uses 100% cpu time, for unknown reasons  
to me yet.

syslog-ng 1.6.8

What I have now in the config, comes from here: http://sial.org/howto/ 
logging/syslog-ng/

options {
   dir_perm(0755);
   perm(0644);
   create_dirs(yes);

   use_fqdn(yes);
   log_fifo_size(4096);

   stats(3600);
};

source local {
   unix-dgram("/var/run/syslog");
   udp(ip(127.0.0.1) port(514));
   internal();
};

source s_kernel {
   file("/dev/klog" log_prefix("kernel: "));
};

destination everything {
   file("/var/log/archive/$R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY"
     template("$ISODATE <$FACILITY.$PRIORITY> $HOST $MSG\n")
     template_escape(no)
   );
};
log { source(local); source(s_kernel); destination(everything); };

filter emerg { level(emerg); };
destination users { usertty("*"); };
log { source(local); filter(emerg); destination(users); };

What I basicly want, is the same as syslogd uses on an default Mac OS  
X install, and from there I'll try to set it more like I need.

Thanks for your time..
