<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
you can use backticks to refer to environment variables. I
think these were introduced in 3.4.<br>
<br>
</div>
tcp(port(`MY_PORT`))<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>It can also use values defined within the configuration
files using the @define pragma:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>@define MY_PORT 12345<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Or something like that.<br>

I'm trying configure syslog-ng, I'd like to be able to use
environment<br>
variables for host & port. I've tried the ones that work
in the template<br>
formatter but it's not working (not suprisingly). Is there
another way?<br>
<br>
destination d_my_dest {<br>
tcp("$(env MY_HOST)" port($(env MY_PORT)) # this
doesn't work as<br>
you can't get env vars unless in a template<br>
tls(peer-verify(required-untrusted)
ca_dir("/etc/syslog-ng/cert.d"))<br>
template(myTemplate));<br>
};<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
