[syslog-ng]Problem reading the source file("/etc/httpd/logs/access_log")

[Jay Guerette]

That is not a valid syslog source. No variation of options will make
that work all by itself. A sample of your configuration would be
helpful...

The 'file()' souce driver is explained here:
http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference/reference.html#AEN279

The above reference demonstrates a method to feed web server logs into
syslog-ng. Never having done it myself, I can only hope the
documentation is up-to-date and correct.
