following this: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/18044.html I'm trying to get syslog-ng on a SLES server to accept incoming syslogging from external devices (an ADTRAN dsu/csu, and some cisco switches). However, the document says to exit /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.in and that file does not seem to exist on my SLES 10 SP2 box. So, I edited instead the file below. It does not appear that the ADTRAN unit has actually dumped anything to this server (which seems impossible) -- either that, or for whatever reason (because I have kludged up the conf file, perhaps??) syslog-ng just has not created any directories or accepted any logging. The firewall is off and I did make sure that syslog-ng is running. Is there anything obvious that I have missed, or something that I can try? modified contents of etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in # uncomment to process log messages from network: # udp(ip("192.168.0.203") port(514)); tcp(ip("192.168.0.203") port(5140) keep-alive(yes)); }; and then later: #this is for separating out network hosts into individual log files destination std { file ("/var/log/HOSTS/$YEAR-$MONTH/$HOST/$FACILITY-$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs (y\es) ); }; log { source(src); destination(std); }; -- When I do good, I feel good.
