For syslog-ng, we used the following and it seems to work:
case defined(Package["syslog-ng"]) {
false: {
service { "syslog": enable => false }
}
}
package { "syslog-ng": ensure => installed,
provider => yum }
service { "syslog-ng": enable => true,
require => [ Service["syslog"], Package["syslog-ng"] ]
}
I am pretty sure that the syslog-ng RPM stops sysklogd along the way.
