Hi Drew I've tried your extra setting but I still get nothing about our cisco routers in the cisco.log or the sys.log files I'd setup for syslog-ng. I do however still get them via the syslogd. Is there something I'm missing out of the source bit of the code ? Regards Richard

Richard,

syslog-ng does a considerably better job at filtering than does syslogd. This can cause you problems if you are not looking at it correctly. syslogd will log up to a priority for a facility in the syslog.conf. syslog-ng will log only that facility given in the syslog-ng.conf. Cisco devices log at the info level by default. So only if you are getting something from the Cisco devices at the debug level. If you want the same behavior as in syslogd you need to set your filter to "priority(info..debug)".

Regards, Drew

Hi Guys

I've just found syslog-ng and am testing/comparing it to our current syslogd so I can match the logging then push everything to a syslog server.

My problem is that I'm getting no logs for Cisco devices, I don't even get anything in the sys.log file(see below):

syslogd.conf file : local7.debug /var/log/cisco.log

syslog-ng.conf file: source src { udp(); tcp(); sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); }; destination d_mail { file("/tmp/ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/mail.log" create_dirs(yes) ); }; destination d_cisco { file("/tmp/ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/cisco.log" create_dirs(ye s)); }; destination d_sshd { file( "/tmp/ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/sshd.log" create_dirs(yes )); }; destination d_tac { file( "/tmp/ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/tacplus.log" create_dirs(y es)); };

destination d_sys { file( "/tmp/ng/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/sys.log" create_dirs(yes)) ; };

filter f_mail { facility(mail); }; filter f_cisco { facility(local7) and priority(debug); }; filter f_sshd { match("sshd"); }; filter f_tac { facility(local6); };

log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(d_mail); }; log { source(src); filter(f_cisco); destination(d_cisco); }; log { source(src); filter(f_sshd); destination(d_sshd); }; log { source(src); filter(f_tac); destination(d_tac); };

log { source(src); destination(d_sys); };

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards Richard Shaw
