Philip,

you may not be aware that the record sent to syslog is not a simple text
string. It
has the priority/facility encoded within "<>" at the front of the record. If
you're not
including this it's possible that syslog-ng is simply discarding it.

You can see this format by setting up a program target (say a simple shell
script) to 
capture the raw output.

Subject: [syslog-ng]receiving external events



I am new to syslog-ng.  I used the following config file to test it out
under Solaris.
Then I used a pc application to generate udp message to port 514.

I started the process using "syslog-ng -f filename".

I can see log message in "messages" indicating the process started.

However, when I send the simulated message from my PC app.  It does not show
up in the log file.

I was reading some Linux syslog-ng document: an chapter from a book.  It
mentioned using the '-r' option to allow accepting remote
message.  I have syslog 1.6.1 and it does not have this option.  Not sure if
I missed anything?

Philip
