Description Tomáš Mózes 2015-03-19 08:51:56 UTC

With remote logging setup:

destination remote { tcp("remote.example.com"); };
log { source(src); destination(remote); };

and after rebooting the machine, syslog-ng fails to start:

Bringing up interface lo
...
Error resolving hostname; host='remote.example.com'
Error initializing message pipeline;
start-stop-daemon: failed to start '/usr/sbin/syslog-ng'
Failed to start syslog-ng
ERROR: syslog-ng failed to start
...

Tested with syslog-ng 3.6.2.

I see that /etc/conf.d/syslog-ng is prepared for this, so just needs configuration.
