After a restart /var/log/messages was created and filled with actual and even very old data. So everything ok. Sorry. Am 02.09.2016 um 20:37 schrieb Daniel Bauer:

I just did. I was very surprised that when I started it, it logged all messages since boot. It must have queried the systemd journal, instead of starting logging messages since the instant it starts to run.
hm. I did it, too, but probably I did something wrong: my /var/log/messages (and the other files there that were created after the install) are all 0 bytes.
I remember that when installing syslog-ng Yast told me something about a conflict with some system-logging program that it wanted to remove, and I accepted. Maybe I shouldn't... (I don't remember exactly what it removed, but my /var/log/zypp/history files says: remove |systemd-logger|210-95.1|x86_64|... )
What did I do wrong? How can I repair it?

(For the other messages here: I am not at systems analyzer and most things in those logs are chinese to me. But sometimes - in very rare cases - I took a look what is going on, and sometimes I found some anomalities. As much as I know, in the current binary version of the logs I first must know what I am looking for and make a query, but I never know: I just scroll thru the list and see if there's something "suspicious". A /very/ amateur approach, I know. )
