New subject: syslog-ng 3.1.2-1~lucid1 not writing to daemon.log, syslog, messages, etc.

5 Aug 2011

      Using stock config, but added a few lines to tail some files and push
them to a splunk server.
It won't log the system log messages, but it pushes the additional
logs out that I added (s_nginx_*).
I commented out my config and looking at the debug output, it looks
like it's not matching anything in the base/default config.

# First, set some global options.
options { long_hostnames(off); flush_lines(0); use_dns(no); use_fqdn(no);
          owner("root"); group("adm"); perm(0640); stats_freq(0);
          bad_hostname("^gconfd$");
};
