syslog-ng recipe¶

This is a recipe for installing/configuring syslog-ng on a system, registering the syslog-ng service in SMF, starting syslog-ng, and stopping the standard syslog daemon.

The only generic piece right now is the config file —– everything else is Solaris 10 specific primarily because that is my current focus and I haven’t had time to do anything with other OSes.

 # syslog-ng.pp
#
# Class for syslog-ng clients that installs the syslog-ng software, populates a default config file, starts the syslog-ng daemon, and stop the syslog daemon.
#
# Note: This class is NOT for syslog-ng servers (e.g. the centralized loghost).
