Re: Monitoring /dev/log?

[Aleksandrov Artyom]

Hi, I wrote about same problem with syslog-ng
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/monit-dev/2011-06/msg00026.html
It not works for me, if I use
               if failed unixsocket /dev/log type udp then restart

Strace still shows that monit try to open STREAM socket.

Best regards, Artyom.
