Title: Syslog-NG
Post by: spetrillo on October 14, 2019, 04:05:32 AM
I setup syslog-ng to run instead of syslogd, but yet syslogd is still running. Should that be the case?

Yes, is something not working?

That doesn't make much sense. There is no "set up syslog-ng" button.

Well then I am confused...

Please see first attachment, which shows my dashboard and both are active. Second please see second attachment, which is my RC.conf file showing syslog-ng to yes and syslogd to no. I thought setting syslogd to no would mean it would not start?

syslog forwards to syslog-ng ... it will run in parallel for a bit of time (or longer).
Dont rely on rc.conf as unbound or openvpn are also not controlled by rc :)

Ok no worries...but I did follow the directions when the 19.7.5 update was applied and it says to disable syslogd in RC.conf and enable syslog-ng.

You mean the update dialog in UI?

Yes...the instructions came up as the UI finished the update. I followed those instructions.

These came from FreeBSD packages, Just ignore them :)
