I just updated to syslog-ng-3.4.2 and after tweaking my config file I restarted it.

However, I note that it mentions it is running in 'correcting-mode'.

I was wondering if this is something I need to address?

Is this implying that there is some old setting which syslog-ng is 'correcting'

My config files are pretty much default with a minor change in the main syslog-ng.conf file to @include "syslog-ng.local.conf" immediately after the @include "scl.conf" line

The contents of my syslog-ng.local.conf is as follows :-
Code:
@version: 3.2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.conf.gentoo.3.2,v 1.1 2011/01/18 17:44:14 mr_bones_ Exp $
#
# Syslog-ng default configuration file for Gentoo Linux


filter f_local5 {facility(local5);};
destination m_samba_audit { file("/var/log/samba/audit.log"); };
log { source(src); filter(f_local5);destination(m_samba_audit); flags(final); };

Are you sure it's not telling you that it's correcting the mode?

There is no reference to a "correcting mode" in the documentation. However, there are many things this could refer to.

syslog-ng has modes:

client
server
relay

it has a configuration option "mark_mode()":
internal
dst-idle
host-idle
periodical
none
global

the configuration options unix_dgram() and unix_stream() open the specified unix socket in SOCK_DGRAM mode or SOCK_STREAM mode

the file() and pipe() sources open their target in read and read-write mode, respectively (which I suppose could conceivably include "correcting" the mode of an already open object)

syslog-ng-ctl has modes:
verbose
debug
trace

mongo-db (if you have gone that route) has a "safe mode".


I suppose if you can't tell from context what it's referring to, the only way to really know is to search the source code for the string "correcting mode" and figure out what logic causes that message to be emitted.

You are correct, it must have been 'correcting the mode' or something equally obscure.

I restart syslog-ng now and I do not see the correcting mode message.

I suspect I figured I had seen it more than once as I have 4 gentoo instances I maintain and I probably thought I had seen it twice on one machine.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
