[syslog-ng] Client forwarding to server

[mailing list]

My syslog-ng is now running.  However, I cannot get the client to forward its
messages to the server.  To be certain, I have disabled my firewall, on both
the client and server side, but still get the below errors in
/var/adm/messages.  The client is logging normally in /var/adm/messages.

Aug 29 14:54:33 client1 syslog-ng[18639]: Connection failed; error='Connection
refused (146)', time_reopen='10'
Aug 29 14:54:43 client1 syslog-ng[18639]: Connection failed; error='Connection
refused (146)', time_reopen='10'
Aug 29 14:54:53 client1 syslog-ng[18639]: Connection failed; error='Connection
refused (146)', time_reopen='10'
Aug 29 14:54:59 client1 syslog-ng[18639]: Log statistics;
dropped='tcp(AF_INET(w.x.y.z:5140))=0', processed='center(queued)=8844',
processed='center(received)=4424', processed='destination(messages)=4420',
processed='destination(loghost)=4420', processed='destination(syslog)=4',
processed='source(src)=4424'

I have "destination loghost { tcp("w.x.y.z"  port(5140)); };" in my
syslog-ng.conf on the client1.  Here's my complete syslog-ng.conf file on the
client1 side.

options {
        long_hostnames(off);
        log_msg_size(8192);
        sync(1);
        log_fifo_size(2048);
        bad_hostname("^(ctld.|cmd|tmd|last)$");
        time_reopen(10);
};

source src { sun-stream("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); };

destination syslog { file("/var/log/syslog"); };
destination messages { file("/var/adm/messages"); };
destination loghost { tcp("w.x.y.z" port(5140)); };

filter f_mail { facility(mail); };
filter f_not_mail { not facility(mail); };

log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(syslog); };
log { source(src); filter(f_not_mail); destination(messages); };


Any help/pointer is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
