[syslog-ng]pipe destination and HPUX

Looking at your config you seem to have specified a ip and prot for your
tcp. Just try it without such as source s_tcp{();};
This is what I use to log approximately 80-100 devices to two servers
(number varies as this is a development site with large amounts of vmware
servers. 

Best of luck

Hi all,

I try to get syslog messages via tcp and want to write them into a pipe with
HPUX 11.11v1 and syslog-ng-1.6.5. The messages arrive perfectly (I
conttrolled this via writing in a file) but the pipe is still empty. Only
messages from local sources get into it.

Does anybody have an idea?

Ciao
