[syslog-ng] FW: Mark from 1.9.4 to 1.9.5

[Edward Brookhouse]

I thought about that - but there is no call being made from syslog-ng
startup out to /etc/sysconfig as is typical to get options. The options
as specified in the startup were just -f configfile .

The -m only works for syslogd not syslog-ng (unless the man page was
wrong didn't look through the source)


I am hesitant to say it's fixed just yet but I believe that adding 

mark_freq(0);

To the conf file has turned off the mark - 

Thanks again Roberto!!!

Edward

Are you absolutly sure it isn't a setting somewhere in /etc?
 
You may set the interval to anything you like on Debian by editing
/etc/init.d/sysklogd. This sets it to 60 minutes: 

SYSLOGD="-m 60" 

(Then restart the syslog daemon: # /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart ) 

On Red Hat and derivatives, edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog : 

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 60" 

Must come from somewhere, right? ;-)

	I was mistaken - the - MARK - is back -

	 

	My only option left is to hack the source and remove the
function and the reference to it - 

	 

	Anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of the Mark
???

	 

	Is there a compile time option to turn this off???

	 

	Even stranger is that the source declares:

	 

	cfg.c:  self->mark_freq = 1200; /* 20 minutes */

	 

	but I am seeing a mark once an hour 

	 

	TIA

	Hi all,

	 

	Using 1.9.4 I experienced the -Mark-being inserted although no
mark() option was specified in the config - 

	 

	I just upgraded to the 1.9.5 source and the behavior of mark
seems to be back to normal - 

	 

	Just FYI 

	 

	E
