kern.log is now always empty
by Lefevre from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WCB2)
Hello,
I just do an upgrade of my debian server from Jessie to Stretch.
But I totaly forgotten to do it in a init S status.
It seems that there was no big issue during the update but I can see now that my kern.log is now always empty. If I do "logger -p kern.info "kern.info: test" for example, it is not written into kern.log.
I'm not familiar with syslog-ng and did'nt find any document that explain how it works and how to debug.
Is there anybody that could help me on this?
