1 . The destination files specified in syslog-ng.conf is created by syslog-ng ??
Yes, they will be created by syslog-ng, if they do not exist.
2. If they are created by syslog-ng then , are they created only when the log gets filtered for that destination file ?
Yes.
3 . Does this happen in syslog as well,because I think in syslog the file gets created even before logging into the file
That, I do not know. It might be that other syslogd implementations create the file before any logs reach it. -- |8] ______________________________________________________________________________ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
