[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 2.0.5 does not remember last sent log line position for file() source

[Andreas Kurz]

Hello all,

I've installed syslog-ng 2.0.5 (compiled from src) on a CentOS 4.5
server and wanted to include a MySQL logfile via a file() source
directive:
...
source s_db_com { file("/var/lib/mysql/community/community.err"
                  log_prefix("mysql-community: ")
                  follow_freq(1) flags(no-parse)); };
filter f_db_com { match("mysql-community"); };
log { source(s_db_com); filter(f_db_com); destination(ha_local6);
destination(ha_tcp); flags(final); };
...

But when I restart syslog-ng the complete MySQL error file is read and
logged again by syslog-ng. Is there a special option that has to be
set to get this feature working? Where does syslog-ng store its
persistant data to get the information after a restart?

Regards,
Andreas
