Hello, I've followed the how-to (the one at the very top) here: http://vermeer.org/display_doc.php?doc_id=1 <http://vermeer.org/display_doc.php?doc_id=1> in order to set up a syslog to MySQL pipe using syslog-ng. syslog-ng: 1.6.5 libol-0.3.14 MySQL: 4.1.7 OS: HP-UX 11.11 All seems to be working great, except for the fact that occasionally the mysql client seems to die. When I do a 'ps' to look for the client process, I still see it running. Tracing the client processes using 'tusc' shows that it is writing the 'INSERT INTO' commands to the named pipe (/tmp/mysql.pipe). Nothing is being inserted into the DB though. I have observed that each time it has died, there seems to have been a large burst of syslog messages coming in. Last time it died I saw about 50 messages within one second... Any ideas? I'm looking to isolate the problem so that I can either: 1) auto restart syslog-ng when this happens 2) find a fix, so that this doesn't keep happening!
