  • Can you post what was in your syslog.inc? Also what's on line 482 of the modified syslog-ng.conf?

     

     

    Thanks,

  • Sure...I've attached the file...I had to rename the extension to .txt to properly attach...In regards to line 482 it is the end of the file that's blank. Enjoy, Thx!
  • Actually, it looks like this limitation is noted in SOL8259 / CR87475. You might contact support to find out if there are any workarounds.
