PostPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:44 pm    Post subject: logs to /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron.log Reply with quote

I am trying to filter out all the cron messages to /var/log/cron.log, but it ends up in /var/log/messages AND /var/log/cron.log. This used to work just fine, but with the latest update of syslog-ng this has been failing.
Code:
@version: 3.4
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/3.4/syslog-ng.conf.gentoo,v 1.2 2013/06/02 01:18:35 mr_bones_ Exp $
#
# Syslog-ng default configuration file for Gentoo Linux

# https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426814
@include "scl.conf"

options {
        threaded(yes);
        chain_hostnames(no);

        # The default action of syslog-ng is to log a STATS line
        # to the file every 10 minutes.  That's pretty ugly after a while.
        # Change it to every 12 hours so you get a nice daily update of
        # how many messages syslog-ng missed (0).
        stats_freq(43200);
        # The default action of syslog-ng is to log a MARK line
        # to the file every 20 minutes.  That's seems high for most
        # people so turn it down to once an hour.  Set it to zero
        # if you don't want the functionality at all.
        mark_freq(3600);
};

source src { system(); internal(); };

destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
destination cron { file("/var/log/cron.log"); };
destination ppp { file("/var/log/ppp.log"); };

filter f_cron { facility(cron); };
filter f_ppp { program(ppp); };
filter f_pptp { program(pptp); };

filter f_messages { level(info..warn)
        and not facility(cron, local2); };


# By default messages are logged to tty12...
destination console_all { file("/dev/tty12"); };
# ...if you intend to use /dev/console for programs like xconsole
# you can comment out the destination line above that references /dev/tty12
# and uncomment the line below.
#destination console_all { file("/dev/console"); };

log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };

log { source(src); filter(f_cron); destination(cron); flags(final);};
log { source(src); filter(f_ppp); destination(ppp); flags(final);};
log { source(src); filter(f_pptp); destination(ppp); flags(final);};

FIXED: Apparently the order matters...
