    Hi,
    I want to create logging for LDAP (version 2.4.19-r1) using syslog-ng
    on Gentoo box.
    Hope someone here can point me in the right direction.  I'm lost
    here.

    slapd logs to local4.
    filter f_local4         {facility(local4); };
    destination slapd { file("/var/log/slapd"); };
    log {source(src); filter(f_local4); destination(slapd); };
    -Dieter

    I still can't get the logging to work.  I followed both suggestions (Dieter
    and Jorge) to no avail.  The syslog-ng daemon starts fine but when I check
    the ldap log, it's empty.  The cron and auth logging is working perfectly
    fine.  Please advise.

    Thanks in advance.

Check how the package was built.

If the configuration argument
"--enable-debug=yes"
was not given, you get no logging.

It was logging before without issue. I can see the log in /var/log/messages file. The problem started hen I emerge or install the new version of openldap (version 2.4.19-r1). Since then the LDAP logging disappeared in /var/log/messages file. All I want to do is to see where the logs go or have the ability to access it.

As I mentioned in my previous post, slapd logs to local4, check your syslog-ng.conf wether there are other filters with a facility local4.

I added local4 on my syslog-ng.conf file as you suggest on your previous email. Do I need to make any changes on slapd.conf?
