Hi All ;)
I am using a virtual machine with:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga)
Linux logserver01 2.6.18-274.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 8 17:36:59 EDT 2011 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
syslog-ng 2.1.4
I have following configuration:
...
9 options {
10 create_dirs (yes);
11 dir_group (root);
12 dir_owner (root);
13 dir_perm (0700);
14 group (root);
15 owner (root);
16 perm (0600);
17 flush_lines(1);
18 flush_timeout (1000);
19 keep_hostname (yes);
20 log_fifo_size (1);
21 use_dns (no);
22 use_fqdn (no);
23 };
...
39 source s_stdout {
40 # file ("/logs/stdout.log" flags(no-parse) follow_freq(1));
41 file ("/logs/stdout.log" flags(no-parse));
42 };
...
61 destination d_stdout { file("/var/log/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/stdout");
};
...
80 log { source(s_stdout); destination(d_stdout); };
The problem is that changes in /logs/stdout.log are only visible in
/var/log/20140717/stdout when I perform /etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload or
restart. I tried several settings of flush_*, log_fifo_size and follow_freq
but with no luck :D
Is it a problem withe the version that I use (quite old :D ) or is there a
mistake in my configuration maybe?
BR,
Rafal.
