Hi all,

I'm having a rsyslog server which logs the log from the network devices
like a centralized repository.

The problem is the Logs are getting duplicated and logs in different file
like "boot.log,messages and rsyslog".

Below is the rsyslog configuration file i'm using:
[code:1w8u7htw]#rsyslog v3 config file

# if you experience problems, check
# http://www.rsyslog.com/troubleshoot for assistance

#### MODULES ####

$ModLoad imuxsock.so    # provides support for local system logging
(e.g. via logger command)
$ModLoad imklog.so      # provides kernel logging support (previously
done by rklogd)
#$ModLoad immark.so     # provides --MARK-- message capability

# Provides UDP syslog reception
$ModLoad imudp.so
$UDPServerRun 514

# Provides TCP syslog reception
$ModLoad imtcp.so
$InputTCPServerRun 514


# sql
$ModLoad ommysql

if ($fromhost-ip startswith '10.') then
:ommysql:127.0.0.1,Syslog,rsyslog,syslog at valeo
if ($fromhost-ip startswith '10.') then /var/log/rsyslog
if ($fromhost-ip startswith '192.') then
:ommysql:127.0.0.1,Syslog,rsyslog,syslog at valeo
if ($fromhost-ip startswith '192.') then /var/log/rsyslog

I want to know why is it happening and want a solution for this issue ASAP
and also i want o know weather rsyslog.conf will create default file or
not.
Because of this issue the disk space is filling up very quickly.

Thanks in advance.
