I have been using syslog-ng and logdog.pl (http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/LogDog/) for quite some time but now want to move to SEC because of its thresholding and suppression features. I noticed that SEC can monitor files and does not necessarily need a FIFO pipe. I also noticed that syslog-ng can send logs directly to a program using the program() feature. My question is which is the best way to implement the syslog-ng to SEC conduit? Should I create a pipe and ask SEC to monitor that because its efficient? Should I simply ask SEC to monitor syslog-ng's destination file even though files are rotated every night? Or should I use syslog-ng's program() feature to send messages to SEC. I guess all will work but which is the best option. Thanks for any insight. Alex
