I have created a how to page at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Syslog_server In reading this please bear in mind the overriding principal is Simplicity. At some stage other will need to separate local0 from local1 and this is easily done by making adjustments to the lines placement and the facility entries that combine all local0-7. It would be easy to work out. Yes I totally agree - you gave me perfect syntax by the book. My query was not inane
We all did it and personally I would like to know if anyone *has success in creating an additional source*. I really don't believe its possible.
By this I mean I would like to know if anyone is successful in both defining another source AND getting the syslog-ng.conf not error on you. All of our syntax seems perfect - by the book not issue an error response on restart of syslog-ng. The offer hence is If someone else can define another source and I will push it to destination file AND get it to parse correctly without error I would like to know and thus learn more.

This line is present in PC IP that receives the data and without a destination will default to the system log "messages"
Obviously.

But of course we do... and told you how.
