log_method syslog not working with metalog

[Massimo-B]

Coming from hvisage/metalog#32 ...

Setting log_method to syslog doesn't log anything to metalog:

# grep log /etc/fangfrisch.conf 
log_level = DEBUG
log_method = syslog

Removing the log_method and falling back to "console", the logging to STDOUT works as expected.

Quoting from my own fangfrisch.conf (production server):

[DEFAULT]
log_level = DEBUG
log_method = syslog
log_target = /dev/log

This works as expected, in this specific case in combination with syslog-ng version 4.6.0. I have never used Metalog myself.

By the way: The description "doesn't log anything to metalog" is not enough to go on, unsurprisingly. You may already have guessed that, but I wanted to be clear that I won't be able to investigate based on what little information you have provided so far.

Let's stick with the original metalog issue for the time being. No need to keep two separate tickets open.
