[syslog-ng] I/O error occurred while writing; fd=\'6\', error=\'Connection refused (111)\'

[Clayton Dukes]

Hi Folks,
I am the owner of php-syslog-ng...
While working on one of my servers, I notice the following error
getting repeated (a lot):
syslog-ng[23692]: I/O error occurred while writing; fd=\'6\',
error=\'Connection refused (111)\'

I've done multiple searches but haven't been able to nail down why
this error is constantly getting logged into my pipe.
I've found google results where Baszi asked the user to try using
strace and/or lsof, but I can't gleen anything useful from it (maybe
I'm just too dumb :-))

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

Here's my syslog-ng config:

options {
        long_hostnames(off);

        # doesn't actually help on Solaris, log(3) truncates at 1024 chars
        log_msg_size(8192);

        # buffer just a little for performance
        sync(1);

        # memory is cheap, buffer messages unable to write (like to loghost)
        log_fifo_size(16384);

        # Hosts we don't want syslog from
        #bad_hostname("^(ctld.|cmd|tmd|last)$");
        bad_hostname("^11.16.254.134$");

        # The time to wait before a dead connection is reestablished (seconds)
        time_reopen(10);

        #Use DNS so that our good names are used, not hostnames
        use_dns(yes);
        dns_cache(yes);

        #Use the whole DNS name
        use_fqdn(yes);

        keep_hostname(yes);
        chain_hostnames(no);

        #Read permission for everyone
        perm(0644);
       # The default action of syslog-ng 1.6.0 is to log a STATS line
        # to the file every 10 minutes.  That's pretty ugly after a while.
        # Change it to every 12 hours so you get a nice daily update of
        # how many messages syslog-ng missed (0).
        stats(43200);
        };

destination d_syslogdb {
        pipe("/var/log/mysql.pipe",
        template
("'$HOST''$FACILITY''$PRIORITY''$LEVEL''$TAG''$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY''$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC''$PROGRAM''$MSG'\n")
        template_escape(yes)
        );
};

log {
source(s_all); destination(d_syslogdb);
};
