Installing syslog-ng on Sun Solaris 10
To successfully install syslog-ng, complete the following simple procedure. Lines starting with # are commands that have to be executed from a command line console.
Procedure 4.5. Installing syslog-ng on Sun Solaris 10
1.
Use the your username and password received together with your syslog-ng Premium Edition license to download the following binaries. Make sure to download the package specific for the processor architecture of the host.
*
The syslog-ng Premium Edition package (syslog-ng-premium-edition_<version>) from
http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/binaries/premium-edition/pool/s/syslog-ng-premium-edition/
*
The libdbi8 package from
http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/binaries/premium-edition/pool/l/libdbi8/
*
If you plan to use an SQL destination, download the package corresponding to your database from
http://www.balabit.com/downloads/files/syslog-ng/binaries/premium-edition/pool/l/libdbi8-drivers/
Also download the package corresponding to the database, architecture, and Solaris version you plan to use from http://www.sunfreeware.com. The Sunfreeware.com website includes details on installing the database, and any required dependencies.
Note
The database packages contain the full database applications, but syslog-ng does not use the databases, only the .so file. Installing the database packages does not start the database services.
2.
Download or copy the syslog-ng_<version_number>_sparc.pkg.gz package to your computer running Solaris.
Download the following packages from the nearest sunfreeware.com mirrors(solaris9 packages):
libiconv-1.11-sol9-sparc-local.gz
libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-sparc-local.gz
3.
Unpack and install the syslog-ng Premium Edition and the libdbi8 package by issuing the following commands from the command line:
# libiconv-1.11-sol9-sparc-local.gz
# libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-sparc-local.gz
# gunzip syslog-ng_<version_number>_sparc.pkg.gz
# gunzip libdbi8_<version>_<arch>.gz
# pkgadd -d libiconv-1.11-sol9-sparc-local
# pkgadd -d libgcc-3.4.6-sol9-sparc-local
# pkgadd -d syslog-ng_<version_number>_sparc.pkg
# pkgadd -d libdbi8_<version>_<arch>.pkg
4.
If you use an SQL destination, issue the commands corresponding to the database:
*
For MySQL:
Download and install the following packages from sunfreeware.com:
- mysql-5.0.41-sol9-sparc-local
- openssl-0.9.8e-sol9-sparc-local
# gunzip <pkg>.gz; pkgadd -d <pkg>
# gunzip libdbd8-mysql_<version>_<arch>.gz
# pkgadd -d libdbd8-mysql_<version>_<arch>.pkg
*
For PostgreSQL:
Make sure that the SUNWpostgr-libs package has been installed. It's on the Solaris 10 install DVD.
# gunzip libdbd8-pgsql_<version>_<arch>.gz
# pkgadd -d libdbd8-pgsql_<version>_<arch>.pkg
*
For SQLite:
Download and install the sqlite-3.3.6-sol9-sparc-local package from sunfreeware.com.
# gunzip sqlite-3.3.6-sol9-sparc-local.gz
# pkgadd -d sqlite-3.3.6-sol9-sparc-local
# gunzip libdbd8-sqlite_<version>_<arch>.gz
# pkgadd -d libdbd8-sqlite_<version>_<arch>.pkg
5.
Rename the syslog-ng.conf.sample file (located under /opt/syslog-ng/etc/) to syslog-ng.conf.
# mv /opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf.sample \
/opt/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf
6.
Modify the syslog-ng.conf to suit your needs. For details on how to configure syslog-ng, see The syslog-ng Administrator Guide, Chapter 3, Configuring syslog-ng.
7.
Disable the original syslogd application.
# svcadm -v disable svc:/system/system-log
8.
Copy the following files to their proper places by issuing the following commands and modify them if needed.
# cp <sourcedir>/contrib/solaris-packaging/syslog-ng.example.xml /var/svc/manifest/system/syslog-ng.xml
# cp <sourcedir>/contrib/solaris-packaging/syslog-ng.method /lib/svc/method/syslog-ng
# cp <sourcedir>/contrib/solaris-packaging/syslog-ng@default /etc/default/syslog-ng@default
9.
Validate and import the syslog-ng.xml file using svccfg.
# svccfg
svc:> validate /var/svc/manifest/system/syslog-ng.xml
svc:> import /var/svc/manifest/system/syslog-ng.xml
svc:> quit
10.
Enable and start syslog-ng.
# svcadm enable -t svc:/system/syslog-ng:default
11.
Verify that syslog-ng is running.
# svcs -a | grep syslog
You should receive a similar output: online 10:15:01 svc:/system/syslog-ng:default
