Re: syslog-ng logging stopped

2011-03-13 Thread Len Conrad

May it be a permission issue (fs or /dev/kmem or the like)?

syslog-ng or syslogd as root doesn't enable log writing.

 Can you
manually start syslog-ng or syslogd with verbose flags enabled?

I edited rc.d/syslog-ng   script to add -d

of course, nothing is logged, so -d doesn't help.

Len



Man, you really stumbled upon something weird!

 right

Maybe some firewall rule?

 I run pf.  pfctl -d didn't allow logging to start.  trafshow and tshark
 showed
 all the traffic hitting port 514, not being blocked.

 syslog-ng been running untouched for that long. Millions of lines/per day
 log from 10 source machine.

 about 00:20 today Friday,  all syslogging to syslog-ng stopped.

 sockstat -4 shows udp/tcp 514 listening

 chkrootkit  shows nothing wrong

 stop syslog-ng

 then pkg_delete, and then

 cd /usr/ports/sysutils/syslog-ng2

 make  make install

 start it,

 no change

 I rebooted the syslog server.  no change

 trafshow -i bce0 -n

 then filter 514

 ... shows 100KBs arriving from our syslog clients.

 tshark capture port 514 on syslog-ng box shows plenty of traffic arriving
 with untouched pf rules active,

 pfctl -d   no change so pfctl -e

 df shows plenty of disk space for /var

 suggestions?
