Hello, I have released version 1.1.2 of syslog-ng. It is available at http://www.balabit.hu/downloads/syslog-ng/source. Together with the source tarball you'll need the libol package, which I have split off from the main distribution tree. For installation instructions see the web page (http://www.balabit.hu/products/syslog-ng). As several of you (and sometimes even me) has troubles using filter statements, and I am about to reimplement them, I ask you to tell me about your proposals on a better syntax. I think both AND and OR connections between expressions should be allowed in one statement, e.g: filter f_messages { (priority info AND not facility authpriv) or facility mail }; maybe to make syntax cleaner, I'll make functions from priority and facility, so that the above line would become: filter f_messages { (priority(info) and facility(authpriv) or facility(mail); }; What do you think? -- Bazsi

It's not about syntax, but I'd be glad to see an option to `drop' certain log files after directing them to a logfile so that later `*.xxxx' entries won't see them. Is it difficult to implement? (for me it is, but perhaps that's just because of my total lameness to programming :) endre
Hello,
I have released version 1.1.2 of syslog-ng. It is available at
After playing with the stable version, this is my first try with the development series and at once I have a question: why, oh why scsh (and scheme) is needed for the development version of syslog-ng?? Even perl would be closer what's on most common Unix systems, but I think to compile a program like syslog-ng nothing except shell scripts, make and a C compiler should be needed. Just my 0.1 filler..

It's only needed for development, it should compile without using scsh. If it doesn't, it's a bug. And the reason for scsh is that make_class (the script that requires scsh) was written by Niels Moller and not me. Reading scheme is chinese to me as well. Maybe I'll rewrite it to use perl, as soon as I have some spare time. (e.g. syslog-ng is ready) -- Bazsi

Stupid me - the files aren't missing, make wants to re-create them. Jozsi - E-mail : kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu, kadlec@sunserv.kfki.hu WWW-Home: http://www.kfki.hu/~kadlec Address : KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics H-1525 Budapest 114, POB. 49, Hungary

Not all of them: affile.c.x is really missing. Jozsef - E-mail : kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu, kadlec@sunserv.kfki.hu WWW-Home: http://www.kfki.hu/~kadlec Address : KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics H-1525 Budapest 114, POB. 49, Hungary
