Summary:                    Zone support for syslog_ng
Description: 
After installing syslog_ng, there is imported service definition into SMF,
but it's lacking on all non-global zones.

vsol01 ~ # svcs cswsyslog_ng

STATE          STIME    FMRI

online          0:58:42 svc:/network/cswsyslog_ng:default
vsol01-zone1 ~ #  svcs cswsyslog_ng

svcs: Pattern 'cswsyslog_ng' doesn't match any instances

STATE          STIME    FMRI

The smf manifest is provided by cswclassutils. I'll transfer this bug to
cswlcassutils.

Ok, I have to do some tests to reproduce the problem. In the meantime, I
guess you can just install the package into each zone manually, I hope it's
not too many.

Still haven't had time to test but wondering if it's just cswclassutils not
being present in the (sparse) zones?

I really can't get any further without more info. I will have to assume
that the install was done from a sparse zone so CSWcswclassutils (which
contains files in /usr) failed. The fix is to install CSWcswclassutils from
the global zone.

I have added info about the sparse zone issue on the wiki.

It is fixable, I've created
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/changeset/5096 with a proposal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Why is that a fix and for what? Please explain what's the problem first? Is
it a problem with syslog_ng or cswclassutils?

And who are you? automaciej from IRC, wahwah from Sourceforge? 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Yes, it's the same person: automaciej from irc == wahwah from sourceforge
== maciej from the mailing list

In short: The original problem was that syslog_ng didn't get started in
non-global zones. Changeset 5096 fixes that.

Longer explanation: I don't think that the SMF manifest was provided by
cswclassutils. There was an XML file in the 'files' folder. Changeset 5096
ports syslog_ng to mgar v2 and switches SMF handling to cswclassutils. As a
side note, I don't think this bug belongs to cswclassutils or common, it
belongs to syslog_ng.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. :-)

According to your link Ihsan already used the SMF support through
cswclassutils:

SPKG_CLASSES = none cswinitsmf

That class autogenerates a manifest and that's what gets imported so even
if he somehow packaged another manifest I doubt very much it was used, it
may have been there as some contrib stuff.

But as I have tried to mention before, cswclassutils contains files in
/usr so if you're running a sparse zone and tries to install, in this case,
syslog_ng from it, the dependency installation of cswclassutils will fail
since /usr is read-only. The fix is to have cswclassutils installed from
the global zone so the dependency is fulfilled beforehand.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I see, you thought that I installed the package in a sparse zone -- that
wasn't the case.

Say, you have machine foo with zones foo-zone1 and foo-zone2. You install
syslog_ng in the global zone of foo. When you do that, foo-zone1 and
foo-zone2 will inherit syslog_ng. What I expect to happen is to have
syslog_ng up and running on foo-zone1 and foo-zone2 as well as in the
global zone. This wasn't happening, hence this bug.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Ok, so your changes only to syslog_ng has made it work for you? Then I
agree that this is a syslog_ng bug and not a cswclassutils one. We
mistakenly transferred the bug to cswclassutils. Is it ok to transfer it
back to syslog_ng (Ihsan)?

Yes, changes to syslog_ng only fixed the issue.
