[syslog-ng] Help

Hello Patrick,

I have a feeling that my installation is successful but I am not able to run it.

Like for eg. I created a source file (tmp) and a destination file (tmpout). Added a dump entry abcd in tmp and executed syslog-ng as below command:
/opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid &
[1] 2028
[root at emsbayapm46] # Configuration file has no version number, assuming syslog-ng 2.1 format. Please add @version: maj.min to the beginning of the file;
WARNING: global: the default value of chain_hostnames is changing to 'no' in version 3.0, please update your configuration accordingly;
WARNING: input: sources do not remove new-line characters from messages by default in version 3.0, please add 'no-multi-line' flag to your configuration if you want to retain this functionality;

WARNING: filters do not store matches in macros by default in 3.0, please update your configuration by using an explicit 'store-matches' flag to achieve that;
WARNING: the match() filter without the use of the value() option is deprecated and hinders performance, please update your configuration;

[1]+  Done                    /opt/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng -f /opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf -p /var/run/syslog-ng.pid

All the contents from tmp moved to tmpout, so I think it is working.

The problem is now… when I have it running as a daemon, when I make entries in /tmp after this , the data is not written in tmpout.

Can you please let me know what is missing and how can I run it as a daemon so all the time the entries are ready and diverted?

Thanks & Regards,
Chaitanya S

Ya, dont use a linux init script on solaris, it wont work (without significant tweaking).
You can download solaris software from sunfreeware.com (http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html#syslogng)
And no on the valid for a month thing. That would be a violation of the GPL.

I tried to use init.d script from a rpm version on solaris but for some reason it doesn't execute as is n I can't get it started as daemon. When I run syslog-ng, it works one time. I will go through the site also.

Where can I get pre compiled version aren't they vad only for a month?

Thanks,
Chaitanya S

I loathe compiling on solaris, and try to avoid it wherever possible. If the only reason youre not using the pre-compiled package is the lack of init script, then it'd be easier to get an init script than compile a new syslog-ng. If anything, you can just yank the init script from the source and use it with the pre-compiled version. If youre using solaris 10, then the proper way is to use the SMF manifests. A good source is http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+smf/manifests and there's one for syslog-ng listed there.

Hello All,

I am not sure if this is a forum where I can post some help I would require but would appreciate if it is.
I have been trying to install syslog-ng open source on Solaris since quite sometime and now I am almost giving up.

After installing I would have presumed to have /etc/init.d/syslog-ng file created but it wasn’t.
Also now I am not able to do “make” to syslog-ng , observing the following error.

Can anyone help me why this is happening?
Is it related to PATH / PKG_CONFIG_PATH or something ? Something or the other is happening and always ending up not able to complete the installation.

# echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/scripts/common:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/nsr:/usr/sbin/nsr:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin
echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
