[syslog-ng] syslog-ng upgrade

[James McDonald]

Does anyone know what needs to be done to successfully upgrade from 4.1 to
4.2 (F2)?  I tried simply stopping the service and running 'rpm -ivh
syslog-ng..rpm -force' but it did not complete successfully.  I added the
-force command because it was complaining of file conflicts.  Balabit has
requested I upgrade to this version, as they try to help me figure out my
other problem I'm having with the syslog-ng service, but I was unable to
find any documentation or get a response from Balabit yet.  I thought I
would see if anyone here had performed the upgrade and knew what needed to
be done.  Here is the output I got when I tried to run it:

 

rpm -ivh syslog-ng-premium-edition-4.2.3-1.rhel5.i386.r
pm --force

warning: syslog-ng-premium-edition-4.2.3-1.rhel5.i386.rpm: Header V4 DSA

Starting syslog-ng: WARNING: window sizing for network sources has changed
in syslog-ng 4.1. The window size is the value of the log_iw_size() option
divided by the value of max_connections(). If
log_iw_size()/max_connections() is lower than 100, it is automatically
increased to 100. Adjust the log_fifo_size() option if needed to avoid
message loss.; orig_window_size='1', new_window_size='100',
min_log_fifo_size='100000'
