If I look at the changelog for the opensuse 11.1 syslog-ng RPM, it seems the option should be there: # rpm -q --changelog syslog-ng [...] * Mon Jul 30 2007 mt@suse.de - Feature #302032: Improved patch adding a global summary(secs) option allowing to specify the summary generation frequency or disable it by setting summary(0). Modified patch file: syslog-ng-summarize.dif [...] However, the option is no longer listed in the syslog-ng.conf(5) man page, and the option does not appear to be supported by syslog-ng. When I edit /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf and add summary(0); to the options, syslog-ng will not start, indicating an error on the line containing options { }: # grep summary /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); perm(0640); stats(3600); summary(0); }; # /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart Shutting down syslog services done Starting syslog servicessyntax error at 36 startproc: exit status of parent of /sbin/syslog-ng: 1 failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add summary(0); to the options { } line in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf 2. /etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart Actual Results: syslog-ng will not start.
