Dear All, I am trying to configure syslog-ng package for managing logs, but there is some where something wrong in my configuration such that it is not generatinglogs below file is quite long #vi /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf code: options { sync (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (on); use_fqdn (yes); create_dirs (no); chain_hostnames(no); keep_hostname (yes); perm(0644); dir_perm(0755); }; source s_sys { unix-stream ("/dev/log"); internal(); }; source s_udp { udp(); }; source kernel_file { file("/proc/kmsg"); }; destination d_cons { file("/dev/console"); }; destination d_spol { file("/var/log/spooler.log"); }; destination d_mesg { file("/var/log/messages.log");

destination(cron); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp); filter(daemon); destination(daemon); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp); filter(ftp); destination(ftp); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp); filter(lpr); destination(lpr); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp); filter(mail); destination(mail); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp); filter(news); destination(news); }; log { source(s_sys); source(s_udp);

source(kernel_file); filter(ext_filter); }; Any guess , why it is not managing log, no new logs have been added to log directory, as /var/log/messages doens't contains any new message after i configured syslog-ng but if i will restart my syslog(the default that comes with redhat) it will start adding new logs to /var/log/messages. . ...... -jack __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday!
