Has anyone used logdog to monitor their Linux system? I am running RHEL 6 and the scripts are written in Perl. I have installed it on a test system and configured it per the install directions. I have checked to make sure all permissions correct, all files exist and the entry of:

*.info            |${FIFO}

is set in the syslog.conf and restarted syslogd. It is old code and I have reached out to the developer with no success. http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/LogDog/

The error I get is: Mar 18 09:09:41 unknown logdog.pl9300: ERROR => Timeout while opening FIFO /var/log/fifo.logdog. Possible solution: configure syslogd to log to this FIFO and restart syslogd.

As I stated it is set in syslog.conf and I even opened all files up too 777 for testing. Any ideas from anyone that has used it?
