Hi,
In this machine (13.1) I use rsyslog. Some years ago I used syslog-ng.
I find rsyslog problematic when finding errors in the config file, it fails to point at the exact error.
what do you think is currently better, rsyslog or syslog-ng?
syslog-ng, without a doubt.
agreed, syslog-ng all the way. It's better documented, it's used elsewhere besides just linux, it can better ID message types and categorise them into classes, you can do realtime correlation, it's log files are easier to read, and last but no means least our very own contributor Peter Czanik is the upstream syslog-ng Community Manager so the support in openSUSE is top notch ;)
would syslog-ng give me a textfile like /var/log/messages that I can just look at from time to time? can I just install it with Yast, or do I have to do special settings (for example for compressing old logs etc.)? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
