Re: syslog-ng failed, cannot open a connection to UNIX[/dev/log]

[Aleksandrov Artyom]

Hi, Thank you for answer.

I don`t change syslog-ng conf file during update

    source src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); internal(); };

~# ls -l /dev/log
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 May 27 19:37 /dev/log


syslog-ng work correctly because monit write to syslog by himself:
    set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
