Package: syslog-ng
Version: 2.0rc1-2
Severity: important
Hi,
I've configured syslog-ng to log to a remote host using UDP:
destination dh_loghost { udp("loghost.mydomain.com"); };
I've specified a static address for my eth0 device. At startup, it takes
a while for the interface to come up (but ifup doesn't wait for it to come
up).
When I use the above statement in my configuration (and a log statement using
this destination), syslog-ng starts up (at boot) but doesn't log anything to the
remote host. It keeps on logging in the local file (every 10 seconds):
Aug 21 13:32:32 mekong syslog-ng[3949]: Connection broken; time_reopen='10'
Aug 21 13:32:42 mekong syslog-ng[3949]: I/O error occurred while writing;
fd='20', error='Connection refused (111)'

fd='20', error='Connection refused (111)'

fd='20', error='Connection refused (111)'
Aug 21 13:33:02 mekong syslog-ng[3949]: Connection broken; time_reopen='10'
Aug 21 13:33:12 mekong syslog-ng[3949]: I/O error occurred while writing;
fd='20', error='Connection refused (111)'
I've used tcpdump to see if the machine tries to contact the remote host,
but it doesn't.
When I restart syslog-ng after bootup, it works OK.
When I specify the IP address of the loghost in the configuration file,
syslog-ng
fails to start at startup. When I login after startup (using ssh) and restart
syslog-ng, everything works ok.
When I downgrade syslog-ng to the version in sarge, it works!
So I guess this is a 2.0 bug?
Greetings,
Rik
