Hello, The error message lists the correct transport methods: *please use one of udp, tcp, or tls;* There is no such option udp6, you could use specify ipv6 via ip-protocol(4/6) All together syslog("::1" transport("udp") ip-protocol(6)); should work. -- Kokan On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 4:09 PM venkateswarlu vinjamuri < venkates.vin@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
*issue*: syslog-ng is not starting if we configure IPV6 IP along with RFC-5424 format Using below command to run syslog-ng: /sbin/syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf -R /var/syslog-ng.persist -p /var/syslog-ng.pid
Getting the below error: ------------------------------
*syslog-ng: Error changing to Unknown syslog transport specified, please use one of udp, tcp, or tls; transport='udp6', id='df_remote_0#0'*
Could anyone please let me know what should be the configuration in syslog-ng.conf for IPV6 syslog-ng server IP with RFC-5424 format.
we are using syslog-ng-3.3.7 version.
*If the below configuration is correct, will it work if we upgrade to newer version with the below configuration?*
I am using the below configuration in syslog-ng.conf: ======================================== options { stats_freq (0); flush_lines (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (10000); chain_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (no); perm(0640); group("root"); };
# sources source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); file("/proc/kmsg" program_override("kernel: ")); };
filter f_remote { facility(local7); }; destination df_remote_0 {syslog("xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx" transport("udp6"));}; log { source(s_all); filter(f_remote); destination(df_remote_0
Please help if there is any issue in the above configuration?
Regards, V/
