        Hi,
        I want to create logging for LDAP (version 2.4.19-r1) using syslog-ng
        on Gentoo box.
        Hope someone here can point me in the right direction.  I'm lost
        here.

        slapd logs to local4.
        filter f_local4         {facility(local4); };
        destination slapd { file("/var/log/slapd"); };
        log {source(src); filter(f_local4); destination(slapd); };
        -Dieter

        I still can't get the logging to work.  I followed both suggestions (Dieter
        and Jorge) to no avail.  The syslog-ng daemon starts fine but when I check
        the ldap log, it's empty.  The cron and auth logging is working perfectly
        fine.  Please advise.
        
        Thanks in advance.

    Check how the package was built.
    
    If the configuration argument
    "--enable-debug=yes"
    was not given, you get no logging.

It was logging before without issue.  I can see the log in /var/log/messages file.  The
problem started hen I emerge or install the new version of openldap (version 2.4.19-r1). 
Since then the LDAP logging disappeared in /var/log/messages file.  All I want to do is to
see where the logs go or have the ability to access it.
    
      

As I mentioned in my previous post, slapd logs to local4, check your
syslog-ng.conf wether there are other filters with a facility local4.

And if you're using gentoo, compile openldap with the "syslog" use flag :-)

Cheers,

Compiling openldap using "syslog" flag did the trick.  Whew! Many thanks for all your help!!
