First of all are you sure you are looking at the correct log file for local2? In my setup, the default is /var/log/gtm.

 

 

This must be a syslog-ng configuration issue. Try digging around in the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file and see what's different between local2 and local0. I'm running 9.2.2 and all the log facilities are working for me when I specify info as the level. It very well could be that if you have a pre-9.2.2 version before GTM was released, the local2 facility is disabled.

 

 

Unfortunately, you are going to have to get your hands dirty with the configuration files on this one. If you are still running into problems, you might have to contact Product Technical Support.
