Hi there,
 
I just compiled and installed syslog-ng-1.5.9. Everything seems to be
working ok
but I'm not able to receive any traps from my cisco devices. I tried
multiple devices
and nothing seems to be getting to the syslog server. I know that they work
fine
with regular syslog on o0ther machines. I'm using Solaris 2.6.
Here is a config file I found on this list and tried to use:
 
options { time_reopen     ( 0   );
          sync            ( 0   );
          chain_hostnames ( no  );
          use_dns         ( yes );
          use_fqdn        ( yes );
          };

source src { sun-streams ( "/dev/log" door( "/etc/.syslog_door" ));
             internal    (                                       );
#             tcp         ( max-connections( 1000 )               );
             udp         (                                        );
             };
 
destination d_all_ms
               { file("/logs/machine_specific/$HOST/all.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
                 group(systems) perm(0664) dir_perm(0664) create_dirs(yes)
);};
 

destination d_cisco
               { file("/logs/cisco/cisco.messages" );};
 

# CISCO (local7) messages:
filter f_cisco { facility(local7); };
 
# NO CISCO (local7) messages:
filter f_no_cisco { not facility(local7); };
 

#Forward all messages to machine specific log monitored by system admins
log { source(src);
       filter(f_no_cisco);
       destination(d_all_ms);
     };
 
# Log all messages coming in on local7 facility to
/logs/cisco/cisco.messages
log { source(src);
       filter(f_cisco);
       destination(d_cisco);
     };
 
 
The only messages I'm getting is from d_all_ms for the local machine:
Sep 18 12:22:44 sys-backup syslog-ng[10513]: STATS: dropped 0
Sep 18 12:22:45 sys-backup syslog-ng[10513]: STATS: dropped 0
Sep 18 12:22:46 sys-backup syslog-ng[10513]: STATS: dropped 0
Sep 18 12:22:47 sys-backup syslog-ng[10513]: STATS: dropped 0
 
Any help would be very appreciated !
