<p>I did some further testing and is I start syslog-ng manualy with:<br>
</p>
<p>/sbin/syslog-ng -F -p /var/run/syslogd.pid</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I start with:<br>
systemctl start syslog-ng <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>it fails.<br>
I'm running syslog-ng 3.24 on a Centos 7 linux machine.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Seems like it's related with systemd...<br>
But i'm stuck here...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks four your help.<br>
<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I set up my destination in syslog-ng config file as follows:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> destination d_syslog2snmp {</p>
<p> program("/apps/syslog-ng/syslog2snmp.py"
template("<${PRI}>${DATE} ${HOST} ${MESSAGE}\n"));</p>
<p> };</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My Script is like this:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> #!/usr/bin/python3<br>
while True:</p>
<p> msg = input()<br>
f = open("/tmp/pysnmp.out","a+")<br>
f.write(f"{ line }")<br>
f.close()<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But I'm getting this in loop on my log file:<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> Oct 24 17:56:37 lab-srv-slg-v01 syslog-ng[9934]: Child
program exited, restarting;
cmdline='/apps/syslog-ng/syslog2snmp.py', status='32256'</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I also tried to use a bash script exactly as the manual gives
as an example but I get the same kind of error loop.<br>
Does any one have a clue on how to solve this?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
