Hi, You have two options: 1. The first one is keeping the original syslogd and have nxlog read files from /var/log/ This is redundant since nxlog can be configured to do the same. Also by reading the logs you loose both the facility and severity since this is normally not included in the files written by syslogd.
Unfortunately I cannot help why you had no luck with this approach because there wasn't enough information provided in your email. 2. The second option is to configure nxlog to read the kernel and syslog directly and get rid of your syslogd. This is somewhat sparsely documented here: http://nxlog-ce.sourceforge.net/nxlog-docs/en/nxlog-reference-manual.html#sources_os_linux What you need to do is: * Stop and disable your syslogd, sysklogd, rsyslog, syslog-ng and all such. * Relink /dev/log: rm /dev/log ln -s /dev/log /var/run/nxlog/devlog This is only necessary if you are planning to run it non-root. * Configure modules: <Extension _syslog> Module xm_syslog </Extension> <Input syslog> Module im_uds Uds /var/run/nxlog/devlog Exec parse_syslog_bsd(); FlowControl FALSE </Input> <Input kernel> Module im_kernel Exec parse_syslog_bsd(); </Input> Regards, Botond On Thu, 1 Aug 2013 11:48:30 +0300 cagil ozturk <cagi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to configure nxlog on a Linux Ubuntu device as a nxlog client.

How can I obtain such a configuration for Linux devices?

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under version control? Why should you start doing it?
