I am setting up a bunch of computers to send there logs to a logserver. I have it set up pretty well and finally figured out the network issue. Everything works great. I was wondering about how daemons send there logs to syslog/syslog-ng. Do all daemons send there logs through the kernel/klogd or do some of them send there logs directly to syslog? If I stop syslog will they start to send them to syslog-ng? Also I am having trouble with the rules for syslog-ng.conf. If I tell it to send everything with a priority of emerg through debug it should send everything right? I am not receiving some logs that are being picked up by syslog. Do some logs not have a priority? How do I tell syslog-ng just to send everything to the logserver? No filters? It might not work too well because of the volume of logs but I would like to try it. BTW Is there going to be an updated manual anytime soon? The current one is not very helpfull. sim
