[syslog-ng] facility(kern) not working? Syslog-ng 2.0.7

[Fegan, Joe]

Hi,

I am using 2.0.7 and it seems that facility(kern) does not match messages from "logger -p kern.info". I am trying to filter kernel messages into a file but nothing goes there. Below are details of the test.

[root at node1 ~]# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

    sync (0);
    time_reopen (10);

    use_fqdn (no);

    file ("/proc/kmsg" log_prefix("kernel: "));
    unix-stream ("/dev/log");
    internal();
    # udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
    # tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};

template t_withsev {
  template("${DATE} ${HOST} ${PRI} ${PRIORITY} ${MSG}\n");
};

destination d_klog { file("/var/log/klog"); };

destination d_mlal { usertty("*"); };

filter f_filter1   { facility(kern); };
filter f_filter2   { level(info..emerg) and
                     not facility(mail,authpriv,cron); };
filter f_filter3   { facility(authpriv); };
filter f_filter4   { facility(mail); };

                     (facility(news) and level(crit..emerg)); };
filter f_filter7   { facility(local7); };
filter f_filter8   { facility(cron); };
