Hello, I've implemented centralized logging for my web servers using syslog-ng and Apache's log pipe functionality. All seemed to work quite well until I noticed that on the log server, where the entries get writen to file, all log lines get truncated at exactly 400 characters! I haven't messed with the log_msg_size() setting, which should be at default 2048. I still tried to increase, just to see, and it didn't change anything. I'm using the $MSGONLY template, so that the log file looks exactly like a regular Apache log file. On the log server side I have: ------ options { use_dns(no); dns_cache(no); stats(3600); }; source syslog_int { internal(); }; source apache_tcp { tcp(port(1999) keep-alive(yes) tcp-keep-alive(yes) max-connections(2)); }; destination apache_file { file("/home/atlas/var/log/access_log" template("$MSGONLY\n") template_escape(no) ); }; destination syslog_file { file("/home/atlas/var/log/syslog-ng.log"); }; log { source(syslog_int); destination(syslog_file); }; log { source(apache_tcp); destination(apache_file); }; ------ And on the log "clients" (the apache machines): ------ options { use_dns(no); dns_cache(no); stats(3600); }; source syslog_int { internal(); }; source apache_stream { unix-stream("/home/atlas/var/log/access_log.socket" keep-alive(yes)); }; destination syslog_file { file("/home/atlas/var/log/syslog-ng.log"); }; destination apache_tcp { tcp(192.168.100.91 port(1999) tcp-keep-alive(yes)); }; log { source(syslog_int); destination(syslog_file); }; log { source(apache_stream); destination(apache_tcp); }; ------ Along with: CustomLog "|/usr/bin/logger -u /home/atlas/var/log/access_log.socket" combined Anybody have any clue as to what's happening here??? I'm out of ideas ... Thanks!
