Fwd: new to list, and syslog-ng
<I hope you don't get this twice (hadn't confirmed my subscription the first time).> I'm hoping some of you can give me some guidance in my implementation of syslog-ng on an AIX 5.3 system. This is what I have for a config file thus far - will it work? Also, some help on the best way to move from the AIX syslogd to syslog-ng? I'm new to AIX as well... # # Global options. # options { long_hostnames(off); use_dns(no); chain_hostnames(no); sync(0); perm(0640); stats(3600); }; # # 'src' is our main source definition. you can add # more sources driver definitions to it, or define # your own sources, i.e.: # #source my_src { .... }; # source s_local { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); }; source s_udp { udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); }; # # Filter definitions # filter f_cron { facility(cron); }; # filter f_local { facility(local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, local7) and not filter(f_cron); }; # filter f_messages { not facility(news, mail); }; filter f_warn { level(warn, err, crit); }; filter f_alert { level(alert); }; # # Cron-messages in one file: # destination cron { file("/var/log/cron"); }; log { source(s_lcoal); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); }; # # local[1-7]: # destination localmessages { file("/var/log/localmessages"); }; log { source(s_local); destination(localmessages); }; # # Network messages: # destination netmessages { file("/var/log/netmessages"); }; log { source(s_udp); destination(netmessages); }; # # Network message pipe: # destination net_pipe { file("/tmp/log/net_pipe"); }; log { source(s_udp); destination(net_pipe); };
