Hi all, someone can tell me what distros are using Syslog-NG as the main system log? Att Renato Gregio
RHEL, CentOS and Fedora aren't. There is transition that they use the rsyslog package, so the syslog-NG release is considered a 3rd party package release. ________________________________ From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Renato Gregio [grejao@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 2:10 PM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: [syslog-ng] Linux Distribuitions using Syslog-NG Hi all, someone can tell me what distros are using Syslog-NG as the main system log?

Not really any certain procedures. The nice thing about the Syslog-NG RPMs is that it automatically shutdowns the older syslog service and removes it from the chkconfig, then adds the syslog-ng package to the server and also to the chkconfig configration as well.

Here are my notes for installing an earlier version on a CentOS box with SSL and PostgreSQL support: 1. sudo yum install gtk2-devel 2. sudo yum install libdbi-devel 3. sudo yum install libdbi-dbd-pgsql 4. wget http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/eventlog/0.2/eventlog_0.2.9.tar.gz 5. tar zxvf eventlog_0.2.9.tar.gz ; cd eventlog-0.2.9 6. ./configure && make && sudo make install 7. cd .. 8. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/ssl/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig 9. export PKG_CONFIG_PATH 10. wget http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/sources/3.0.4/source/syslog... 11. tar zxvf syslog-ng_3.0.4.tar.gz ; cd syslog-ng-3.0.4 12. ./configure --enable-ssl --enable-sql 13. make 14. sudo make install John

Not afaik, but this works : # service rsyslog stop # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog # yum install syslog-ng # chkconfig syslog-ng on # service syslog-ng start This depends on whether syslog-ng is in your yum repo list ; in the case of any Fedora in the past 4 years (at least) you're good to go, and in the case of CentOS, you just need to add RPMForge (i think). -- Daniel Maher <dma PLUS syslogng AT witbe DOT net>
can you tell me a repository that has packages to install syslog-ng by yum for centos as below? thanks..

You have the Fedora EPEL repositories: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/ It currently has syslog-ng-2.1.4-1.el5.src.rpm for RHEL/CentOS 5.x. /jpo -- José Pedro Oliveira * mailto:jpo@di.uminho.pt *
I made a compact installation of CentOS 5.5. to change Syslog for Syslog-ng, according to the procedure below: # service rsyslog stop # rpm -e --nodeps rsyslog # yum install syslog-ng # chkconfig syslog-ng on # service syslog-ng start I need to stop service and remove the package rsyslog. but i don't have service and package rsyslog: [root@vmtest init.d]# service rsyslog stop rsyslog: unrecognized service [root@vmtest init.d]# rpm -qa | grep syslog [root@vmtest init.d]# and I have syslog service [root@vmtest init.d]# service syslog status syslogd (pid 3063) is running... klogd (pid 3066) is running... [root@vmtest init.d]# I need to stop and remove any service/package from Syslogd ? the procedure is correct using EPEL repo? thanks
