ok i've setup pfsense to send the logs, i've installed syslog-ng on this linux machine, i'm just not sure how to set it up. This is what i've made the syslog-ng.conf
# # Configuration file for syslog-ng under Debian # # attempts at reproducing default syslog behavior # the standard syslog levels are (in descending order of priority): # emerg alert crit err warning notice info debug # the aliases "error", "panic", and "warn" are deprecated # the "none" priority found in the original syslogd configuration is # only used in internal messages created by syslogd ###### # options options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); }; src info_src { udp(514); }; destination info_dst { file(”/var/log/hosts/$HOST.log”); }; filter info_filter { level(info); }; log { source(info_src); filter(info_filter); destination(info_dst);

# the number of lines buffered before written to file # you might want to increase this if your disk isn't catching with # all the log messages you get or if you want less disk activity # (say on a laptop) # (default is 0) #sync(0);

};the problem is when i run it i get this
syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
syntax error at 17
where this is line 17:
