I have syslog-ng configuration that started duplicating the events after the Linux box reboot
is there any way to avoid it ?
the are 2 heavy forwarders defined for the same load balancer and only 1 is duplicating the events in the syslog files created
[root@ilissplfwd07 syslog-ng]# cat syslog-ng.conf
@version:3.5
@include "scl.conf"
# syslog-ng configuration file.
#
# This should behave pretty much like the original syslog on RedHat. But
# it could be configured a lot smarter.
#
# See syslog-ng(8) and syslog-ng.conf(5) for more information.
#
# Note: it also sources additional configuration files (*.conf)
# located in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/
