Hm... it's a bug in syslog-ng. We already found it in PE before,
Bazsi should port the fix back to OSE.<br>

Making use of Postgresql's bigserial, it reads:<br>

To insert the next value of the sequence into the <tt
class="TYPE">serial</tt> column, specify that the <tt
class="TYPE">serial</tt> column should be assigned its default
value. This can be done either by excluding the column from the
list of columns in the <tt class="COMMAND">INSERT</tt> statement,
or through the use of the <tt class="LITERAL">DEFAULT</tt> key
word. <br>

null(): If the content of a column matches the string

Ofc, you can use integer type for pid, but this is a string
and not an integer.

<br>
Okay, looks like I was looking/thinking about
something else, so lets explain my problem.<br>
<br>
I want the pid inseted to be a "proper"
number/integer, not a string/character, and the fun
starts with several of my sources not having a pid
entry, thus that field I would like to be filled with
NULL values. However, it still gets escaped, and when
it gets escaped, the NULL is not null anymore, but the
string 'NULL' :(<br>
<br>
I was hoping that in some why I could coerce syslog-ng
to understand that that column is a integer column,
thus should not be escaped as it is currently done ;(<br>
<br>
I have the following destination:<br>
destination d_pgsql {<br>
sql(type(pgsql)<br>
host("127.0.0.1") username("logwriter")
password("logwriter") port("5432")<br>
database("syslog")<br>
table("logs_${HOST}_${R_YEAR}${R_MONTH}${R_DAY}")
#or whatever you want, example ${HOST}" for hosts,
${LEVEL}" for levels.. etc<br>
columns("datetime varchar(16)", "host varchar(32)",
"program varchar(16)", "pid varchar(8) default null",
"message varchar")<br>
values("$R_DATE", "$HOST", "$PROGRAM",
"${PID:-NULL}", "$MSG")<br>
indexes("datetime", "host", "program", "pid",
"message"));<br>
};<br>
