[syslog-ng] RE: Possible bug due to unusual configuration

[Matthur, Ananda (STSD)]

Hi All,

  I am using syslog-ng on SLES linux (shipped by default from SLES). I
found out a rather unusual behaviour, which seems to be a bug in
syslog-ng:

   Excerpt from my configuration file: I have the definition of a single
source two times, in different places of my configuration file, as
follows:

.

.

source s_clog_tail { pipe("/dev/log_consolidation_fifo"); };

..

..

source s_clog_tail { pipe("/dev/log_consolidation_fifo"); };

..

..

    

    When I try to use syslog-ng with -s option, it does not complain,
but if I run syslog-ng, it does not log messages from this source. i.e.,
it fails to log messages from this source. Should I file this as a bug
in syslog-ng?  The duplicate definition is probably a msitake and
definitely not needed, and after removing the duplicate definition,
everything works fine. Just wondering why double definition fails,
though.

 

Thanks and regards,
