Description

--server <y,n>: For y install the syslog-ng init script in /etc/init.d, make appropriate run level links and start the server. For n remove any existing syslog-ng init from /etc/init.d.
--user <Syslog-ng user>: By default Syslog-ng will be configured to run as the daemon user. You can specify an alternative with the --user flag.
--add-source <log file path>: Add a source for syslog to watch. The argument should be the full path to the log for syslog-ng to monitor: e.g. --add-source /vdt/globus/var/container-real.log
--remove-source <log file path>: Remove a source from the conf file.
--central-host <host[:port]>: Change the central logging host. If port is not supplied, the previously used port will be kept.
--reset: Restore the original (empty) configuration files. Cannot be used with --add-source, --remove-source, or --central-host
--vdt-install <VDT installation root>: configure_syslog_ng will look for the root of the VDT installation at $VDT_LOCATION. If you do not have that set you can specify it with --vdt-install instead.
--help, --usage: Print a usage message.
