Hello list I compiled syslog-ng version 1.6.5 on Red Hat 3.0. The remote logging mechanism works (for example it fills my database) but he dont logs to the filesystem (storage). It means I shoud have two copies of log: one in database and one on filesystem for save. From my configuratioon I excpect to make directories and files with logs. For example /mnt/syslog/hosts/192.168.21.15/auth/200410 shoud be there. With lsof and ls I see no transaction to filesystem (I SIGHUPED syslog-ng) # Globale Optionen options { use_fqdn(no); use_dns(no); dns_cache(no); keep_hostname(yes); create_dirs(yes); long_hostnames(off); sync(1); log_fifo_size(1024); }; # Quellen/Sources source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); # auf UDP 514 listening udp(); }; source network { udp(); }; # Log syslog-ng zu mysql database destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date, time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL','$TAG', '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n") template-escape(yes)); }; log { source(src); destination(d_mysql); }; # Log syslog-ng zu shared Storage destination std { file("/mnt/syslog/hosts/$HOST/$FACILITY/$YEAR_$MONTH" owner(root) group(root) perm(0601) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes) ); }; log { source(network); destination(std); }; I also tried with the configuration from friendly campin (http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/expanded-syslog-ng.conf) with minimal modifcation (we dont use dns). Please share ur knowledge with me (tried serveral days without luck) kind regards Jeremy
