syslog-ng: logging reduced/incomplete

[bringha]

Hi there,

I updated yesterday finally to 20.7.3 from 20.1.9_1, which ran very smooth on my X11-SBA LN4F Supermicro System. All services came up again, there is one thing left which is syslog-ng.

After the restart I had both syslog and syslog-ng running which I solved by deactivating circular logs. Since then, syslog-ng runs stable. However, not all relevant running services are being logged. According to /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf.d/syslog-ng-local.conf, I should see dedicated directories in /var/log/ for

• configd +
• dhcpd +
• dnsmasq
• filter +
• gateways *
• ipsec
• lighttpd +
• ntpd *
• openvpn
• pkg *
• portalauth +
• ppp
• haproxy/relayd
• routing +
• squid
• suricata
• system +
• syslog-ng +

and some more, containing timestamped log files for the individual services. I assume, that indeed loggers are created only if the corresponding service is running.

Service Logs in table above having a '+' are created and contain logs, lines having a '*' have a running service but no logs are created, no tag in the table means that the corresponding service is not active. Saving the config and restart of the service did not help.

Any idea how to get the missing logs for the running services up?
