Hi, Indeed it works with unix-dgram("/dev/log" ); Thanks ! I have another question : I have a system with different packages. Each package brings its own syslog-ng conf file to define its filters and log { } blocks. All those conf files are in a directory which is included by the main syslog-ng conf file. In the main syslog-ng conf file I want to log all the unfiltered lines into /var/log/messages. Problem: I cannot reference previously defined filters without knowing their name. The main conf file doesn't know those names. Is there a way to solve this ? Sadly wildcards don't work on filter names...

Hi,
this is probably because syslogd used SOCK_DGRAM socket for /dev/log whereas your syslog-ng configuration tells syslog-ng to use SOCK_STREAM. The libc implementation supports both. Make sure you use unix-dgram() in syslog-ng. the system() source in syslog-ng defaults to unix-dgram() if I remember correctly.
btw: multi-line log messages are not supported over syslog network transports in general, though its original UDP transport may work.

Btw ... the program destination ran pretty well with no performance impact or anything. "Use the source young padawan "

Ok, well that cannot be a solution for us because of different reasons: performance (embedded environment), probability to add bugs ... I guess we'll have to go reconsider keeping syslogd which doesn't have this issue.
