Although I think your config should work I don't like the idea
of "re-sourcing" the stream.<br>
<br>
Now that I look closer at what you have done you are using the
same filter, so it could be<br>
<br>
<div><span>log {<br>
source(s_net_tcp); <br>
filter(f_pci);<br>
destination (d_splunk_PCI);<br></span>
destination (d_sumo_PCI);<br>

<div> destination (d_secureworks);<br>
};<br>
</div>
<div><br>
<br>
which takes the source, filters it and sends to all three
destinations.<span class="m_4029743998855853098m_-2438829722119929416m_2142926784378859052m_8945445071974058476HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div>Subject: [syslog-ng] One source multiple
destinations ? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I'm having a problem where I am trying
to take input source(s) and write them out to
multiple destinations.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Before I go barking up the wrong tree I just
wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We should be able to take a source and send it
to file, elastic-search and SPLUNK and sumologic
all at the same time right ? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Troubleshooting an odd behavior where only one
network destination will work but then I switch
the order the other starts working.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know it's vague but has anyone seen this
behavior? </div>
