Sandor, Thanks for the input. It was indeed the config file. I had a missing parameter on my config file. I missed the "or" after host("CentrevilleDS-TLS") ha ha ha # Let's intercept the logs with "Configured from console" filter f_config_alert { ( ( host("WWC-6509-DC1") or host("WWC-6509-DC2") or host("TLS-UUNet") or host("6509-CE") or host("SPRAGUE_MSFC") or host("6509-Sprague-TLS") or host("FCPSCAB-MSFC") or host("MSFC-1-WWC") or host("6509-WWC-TLS") or host("FWSM") or host("6509-720-POP-MSFC") or host("WoodsonDS-TLS") or host("ChantillyDS-TLS") or host("OaktonDS-TLS") or host("RockyRunDS-TLS") or host("EdisonDS-TLS") or host("FCPSCAB-3845") or host("CentrevilleDS-TLS") host("FCPS_FFCG") ) and match("Configured from console") ); }; On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Geller, Sandor (IT) < Sandor.Geller@morganstanley.com> wrote:

Hello, I did a centos update yesterday and now my syslog-ng wont start. Please help.

[root@central-logger init.d]# /etc/init.d/syslog-ng.init start Starting syslog-ng: syntax error at 189 Starting Kernel Logger: [FAILED]

Check your configfile, as syslog-ng stated there is a syntax error at line 189. What's at line 189? From which version did you upgrade to which version? Your mail doesn't contain enough information :(

Regards,
