Hi, I would like to setup a very customized version centralize syslog-ng. ... for wich I would like to have multiple istance of syslog-ng listening each one on different port like:

- General Porpouse Server: port 10000 - IDS : port 10001 - Firewall : port 10002

You don't need multiple instances of syslog-ng - you would do something like this in the config file: source general { udp(port(10000)); } source ids { udp(port 10001)); } source firewall { udp(port 10002)); } And then process them separately as far as destinations, filtering, or whatever else you want to do.
