Dear all, What happen if the log message is not a standard syslog message? Thanks.

It does contain information on syslog-ng Premium Edition, but still we tried to concentrate on the technical content, and some of it equally applies to syslog-ng OSE. We'd appreciate feedback at documentation@balabit.com. Thanks. -- Bazsi ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2007 18:40:03 +0200 From: " Nicolas de Marqu? - Fromentin " <nicolas.demarque@gmail.com> Subject: [syslog-ng] Buffer Overflow : Insufficient buffer space for retrieving STREAMS log message; res='2' To: "Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list" <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Message-ID: <b778b3cc0708160940y50d0dfb4yc84f86dffa4efc6a@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hello, During a big flow from a local server to a central server, we have a "buffer overflow" on the local server. After this message, syslog-ng is crash and don't be capable to send any messages. The local server is a solaris 10 product, the central linux a redhat EL4. Do you know a rule to stop this problem Best regard, Nicolas

If a Cisco switch sends a message like this: 2005 Aug 23 03:04:05 UTC +00:00 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 4/16 left bridge port 4/16 ...it'll be written to disk like this: Aug 23 03:04:05 switch.company.com 2005 Aug 23 03:04:05 UTC +00:00 %PAGP-5-PORTFROMSTP:Port 4/16 left bridge port 4/16 syslog servers put in a proper syslog formatted header. The behavior is documented here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3164.html It's not syslog-ng specific behavior. -- Nate "The IBM compatible sector has not yet recognized that 95% of computer usage is devoted to experimenting with different fonts and character styles in documents." - Reiner, Ron

It's not syslog-ng specific behavior.
In fact I've added some Cisco date stamp support, so date stamps of some of the Cisco gear are properly recognized. But Cisco is not using consistent timestamps in their different product lines. -- Bazsi
