Can't get syslog-ng to start...
All, I keep getting the following when attempting to start syslog-ng: /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 10: @version:: command not found /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: line 12: `options { use_dns(yes);' Not sure why I'm getting these messages when I'm running a later version: bash-3.2# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng -V syslog-ng 3.2.4 Installer-Version: 3.2.4 Revision: ssh+git://bazsi@git.balabit//var/scm/git/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-ose--mainline--3.2#master#ef7b91e4a1b1f9628c66138b4ae83de7e4c697c6 Compile-Date: Jun 9 2011 05:24:53 Enable-Threads: off Enable-Debug: off Enable-GProf: off Enable-Memtrace: off Enable-Sun-STREAMS: on Enable-IPv6: on Enable-Spoof-Source: on Enable-TCP-Wrapper: off Enable-SSL: on Enable-SQL: off Enable-Linux-Caps: off Enable-Pcre: on Enable-Pacct: off bash-3.2# more /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf # Syslog-ng example configuration file for Solaris # # Copyright (c) 1999 Balazs Scheidler # $Id: syslog-ng.conf.solaris,v 1.2 1999/11/15 12:30:41 bazsi Exp $ # Current syslog-ng binary version 1.5.16 # # Solaris 2.5.1 and below uses the STREAMS driver, above extends it # with doors.

Hi, Version should contain only the major.minor information. Try the '@version: 3.2' instead of '@version: 3.2.4' BR, Viktor Juhasz On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 6:43 PM, Mason, Tron <Tron.Mason@mail.house.gov> wrote:

These messages dont seem to be generated by syslog-ng or are by a very old version. Can you copy paste the command you use to start syslog-ng with that config file? And although 3.2 does support @version it is still ancient. We are at 3.7 now, 5 major versions later. On Aug 28, 2015 18:43, "Mason, Tron" <Tron.Mason@mail.house.gov> wrote:
