[syslog-ng]Syslog Dropping Information

[Jim Gifford]

I have noticed over the last few weeks, that it seems that I have been
dropping information from the kernel log. I am not sure if it is my
configuration. I have tried two different ways of accessing information from
/proc/kmsg. I have tried pipe without klogd. I have tried file with klogd.
It seems to happen at random times.

Here is my system information.
Linux 2.4.18
Syslog-ng 1.5.17

Here is a copy of my config.

options {     sync (0);
                   time_reopen (10);
                   log_fifo_size (1000);
                   long_hostnames(off);
                   use_dns (no);
                   use_fqdn (no);
                   create_dirs (no);
                   keep_hostname (yes);
};

source src {     unix-stream("/dev/log");
                       internal();
                       file("/proc/kmsg");
};
