syslog-ng-2.0.5: err "Duplicate stats counter"

20 Nov 2007

      Hi everyone,

I'm trying to configure a few templated logs on Linux boxes to a
remote syslog-ng server (available through stunnel connection).
All is working fine in the remote syslog-ng server: I can see all the
data I expected and I can manage them happly.
There is only a small issue on the client side: the syslog-ng don't
send "stats" and "mark" messages. When I start the deamon I have this
error:

[root@usftpl201 sbin]# ./syslog-ng -d -v -F
Duplicate stats counter; counter='tcp(AF_INET(127.0.0.1:61514))'

This is my syslog-ng configuration on client side:

# general options
options {
        mark_freq(1);
        stats_freq(2);
        time_reopen(5);
        time_reap(300);
        flush_lines(1);
        flush_timeout(5000);
        log_fifo_size(3);
        normalize_hostnames(yes);
        keep_hostname(yes);
        use_fqdn(no);
        owner(root);
        group(root);
        perm(0600);
        dir_owner(root);
        dir_group(root);
        dir_perm(0600);
        log_msg_size(8192);
};

# define sources
source s_system { file("/var/log/messages" follow_freq(1));
                                   file("/var/log/secure" follow_freq(1));
                                   file("/var/log/cron" follow_freq(1));
                                   file("/var/log/up2date" follow_freq(1));
                                   file("/var/log/osad" follow_freq(1)); };

source s_proftpd { file("/var/log/proftpd/auth.log" follow_freq(1)
flags(no-parse));
                                  file("/var/log/proftpd/access.log"
follow_freq(1) flags(no-parse)); };

# define filters
filter f_system  { not match("logger"); };
filter f_proftpd { not match("FTP Time"); };

# define templates
template t_system  { template("$DATE $HOST TYPE: MSG-SYSTEM MSG: $MSG\n"); };
template t_proftpd { template("$DATE $HOST TYPE: MSG-PROFTPD MSG: $MSG\n"); };

# define destinatios
destination d_system  { tcp("127.0.0.1" port(61514) template(t_system)); };
destination d_proftpd { tcp("127.0.0.1" port(61514) template(t_proftpd)); };

# define logs
log { source(s_system); filter(f_system); destination(d_system); };
log { source(s_proftpd); filter(f_proftpd); destination(d_proftpd); };

This is my configuration on central syslog-ng server:

options {
        time_reopen(15);
        time_reap(600);
        flush_lines(4);
        flush_timeout(6000);
        log_fifo_size(1);
        chain_hostnames(yes);
        normalize_hostnames(on);
        create_dirs(yes);
        chain_hostnames(yes);
        long_hostnames(no);
        keep_hostname(yes);
        use_fqdn(no);
        use_dns(no);
        owner(root);
        group(root);
        dir_owner(root);
        dir_group(root);
        dir_perm(0600);
        log_msg_size(8192);
};

# define sources
source s_tcp            { tcp(ip(127.0.0.1) port(60514)
max-connections(512) tcp-keep-alive(yes)); };

# define filters
filter f_system  { match("MSG-SYSTEM"); };
filter f_proftpd { match("MSG-PROFTPD"); };

# define templates
template t_system       { template("RECDATE: $R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$R_DAY
$R_HOUR:$R_MIN:$R_SEC SYSLOG: ussysl310 RHOST: $HOST RDATE:
$S_YEAR/$S_MONTH/$S_DAY $S_HOUR:$S_MIN:$S_SEC $MS
G\n"); template_escape(no); };
template t_proftpd      { template("RECDATE: $R_YEAR/$R_MONTH/$R_DAY
$R_HOUR:$R_MIN:$R_SEC SYSLOG: ussysl310 RHOST: $HOST RDATE:
$S_YEAR/$S_MONTH/$S_DAY $S_HOUR:$S_MIN:$S_SEC $MS
G\n"); template_escape(no); };

# define destinations
destination d_system   {
file("/var/data/syslog-ng/linux-hosts/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$HOST-$DAY$MONTH$YEAR-system.log"
 template(t_system)); };
destination d_proftpd  {
file("/var/data/syslog-ng/linux-hosts/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$HOST-$DAY$MONTH$YEAR-proftpd.log"
template(t_proftpd)); };

# define logs
log { source(s_tcp); filter(f_system); destination(d_system);};
log { source(s_tcp); filter(f_proftpd); destination(d_proftpd); }

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Alberto.
