Hello,

Personally I don’t have much experience with systemd, but I can check. I contributed the syslog-ng 3.1 packages for Fedora, and AFAIK it worked fine after the switch to systemd. I don’t personally use Fedora on a daily basis, and after the latest update I can’t even boot it, but I will reinstall it and check if it works there, and if yes, what settings are used there.

MySQL: I started out also from the same config sample 🙂 It works fine over here. I must say, that gave all permissions to the database for the logging user, which might be a bit too much, on the other hand I suspect, that you gave too little permissions.

Anyway: do you have a download location for your Linux distribution and instructions how to install syslog-ng on it?

Best regards,
CzP
