Sounds like you did not import your syslog database. ?

For this you have to create a second database named syslog and import the sql file.

you also have to setup syslog-ng and pipe the data to mysql.
(If using Linux)

You have to complete the steps on the HOWTO first... Mind the notes I posted in the HOWTO-Thread, otherwise it wont work.

I have to say that the README contained in the syslog-plugin sucks, because it does not let you know that there is a lot more stuff to do to get the plugin actually work. Alot of users spending unnecessary time to find out... cant understand why the author does not change the README...

thanks
