[gentoo-user] syslog-ng not repoening log files on HUP

[comsatcat]

Hello,

I have 30 or so machines all displaying the same thing.  When I kill
-HUP (/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload), syslog-ng will not re-open the log
file.  Thus when a log file is rotated, logging stops.  All 30 machines
are logging locally to disk and to a centralized server via tcp.  Has
anyone seen this or have an idea on how to fix this?  Note that syslog
is chrooted as root to /var/log with the -C flag.  I'm assuming the
problem is with my config.

Here are the clients syslog-ng.conf:

options {
        time_reopen(10);
        time_reap(360);
        use_dns(no);
        use_fqdn(yes);
        keep_hostname(yes);
        sync(0);
        long_hostnames(on);
        log_fifo_size(300);
};
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

destination remote {tcp("127.0.0.1" port(514));};
destination console { usertty("root"); };
destination console_log { file("/console"); };
destination local { file("/$FACILITY"); };

filter f_emergency { level(emerg); };

log { source(src); destination(remote); };
log { source(src); destination(local); };
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(console_log); };


Thanks,
Ben
