Sorry for the waste of bandwidth. I noticed I was not on quite the latest release. Just upgraded and all in OK this time. Cheers, aid On Wednesday 17 January 2001 13:19, you wrote:

Hi,

I'm running syslog-ng-1.4.9a on a RedHat 7 box.

I'm receiving syslog UDP messages from several cisco routers - and writing those messages to a file.

Allow works OK, except the messages are all batched on lines - each line being 1077 bytes long - instead of each message being on a separate line.

The syslog messages are definatley coming in separately (verified with ngrep).

My syslog config is below - the 'core' items are the ones handling these data from the routers. All logs from this box itself are fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
