Hi,

I am facing some challenges configuring the syslog_ng( 3.0.7) for central logging on AIX. The subsystem becomes in-operative while trying to set it up for central logging. But otherwise while tryng to log the messages on the same machine it runs fine...

Below are the logs

1. Logging on the same host.

# /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/init.d/syslog-ng.d restart 0513-044 The syslog_ng Subsystem was requested to stop. 0513-059 The syslog_ng Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 9043968. # ^C # lssrc -a |grep -i syslog syslog_ng local 9043968 active syslogd ras inoperative

Now ,after I change the conf file to the central server one... # cp syslog-ng.conf.server-sample syslog-ng.conf # /opt/soe/local/syslog_ng/etc/init.d/syslog-ng.d restart 0513-044 The syslog_ng Subsystem was requested to stop. 0513-059 The syslog_ng Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 3342368. # lssrc -a |grep -i syslog syslogd ras inoperative syslog_ng local inoperative

Below is are the contents for myu conf file whiel trying to set up for central logging. # cat syslog-ng.conf.server-sample @version: 3.0

source s_remote { tcp(); }; destination d_clients { file("/var/adm/messages-ng.$HOST.log"); }; log { source(s_remote); destination(d_clients); }; source s_local { internal();unix-dgram("/dev/log"); }; destination d_local { file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log" owner("root") group("adm") perm(0640)); }; log { source(s_local); destination(d_local); }; destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages-ng" owner("root") group("adm") perm(0640)); }; log { source(s_local); destination(d_messages); };

Please let me know if somehting in he conf file does not look fine and might be causing the susbsytem to turn inoperative. Because If i revert back to my old config file the subsystem again becomes active.
