I'd like to use zensyslog as our logserver if possible. we currently have 
syslog-ng (which we really like) setup as our logserver on another host. It is 
setup to file messages based on HOST/DATE/etc - which makes it pretty simple to 
traverse all the logs. 

I saw some documentation that says zensyslog can be setup to write to a file as 
well. Will it support a similar format as syslog-ng? 

Also, I have syslog-ng running as a client on my zenserver and zensyslog 
running as the server. this seems to be OK (both run without complaining of 
port conflicts). I have the zenoss server's syslog agent set to send messages 
to itself using it's IP address and I have another system's syslog agent set to 
send messages to it as well. The local syslog files says "Error connecting to 
remote host AF_INET(w.x.y.z:514), reattempting in 60 seconds" - so it would 
appear that zensyslog is not accepting connections or that syslog-ng has 
hijacked the port and not allowing zensyslog to use it. 

Is this the case? Where can I find more documentation on how to setup 
zensyslog? There was reference to a document in the Wiki entry on syslog - but 
I didn't see a link.

thanks!!
