Hi i am getting started with syslog can i add a new facility different from ( mail ... local0 to 7) what i did til now is sending every thing (src) to a syslog server via udp #########" client syslog

filter myfil1 { facility(local1); };# let only local1 = error log apache

destination loghost { udp("192.168.1.66" port(514)); }; log { source(src);

filter(myfil1); destination(loghost); };

###Server syslog source src {

# # include internal syslog-ng messages # note: the internal() soure is required! # # internal();

# # the default log socket for local logging: # # unix-dgram("/dev/log");

# # uncomment to process log messages from network: # #udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); udp(port(514));

}; source src { # # include internal syslog-ng messages # note: the internal() soure is required! # # internal();

# # the default log socket for local logging: # # unix-dgram("/dev/log");

# # uncomment to process log messages from network: # #udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); udp(port(514));

};

and sent Apache erreor to syslog :local1 /mod_log_config.conf Errorlog syslog:local1 ************** what i tried and didnot work is adding /var/log/apache2/errorlog as sorce because of permession denial and using unix-stream unix-dgram pipe ( i created file with) mkififo between apache and syslog nothing so sorry if i am bothering but my questions are 1 can i add a new facility like local1 and collect on it apapche error log if no is Errorlog syslog: local1 the *best* way with a filter on local1 2 does local1in my case contain only appache error log 3 if there is another way be my gest i am hering Sorry am not good in eglish
