Hi there,
While trying to do something fairly specific with syslog-ng3, I ran into
an error with an easy fix. I'm running syslog-ng3 3.1.1_1 on FreeBSD,
installed from ports with SSL enabled and everything else default.
What I was trying to do was to use the host_override() function on a
unix-dgram() source. Time and again it was acting like the
program_override() function instead; altering the program entry and not
the host entry in the log. When I went and looked at the source code, I
noticed this in logsource.c:
145 if (self->options->program_override)
146 {
147 if (self->options->program_override_len < 0)
148 self->options->program_override_len =
strlen(self->options->program_override);
149 log_msg_set_value(msg, LM_V_PROGRAM,
self->options->program_override,
self->options->program_override_len);
150 }
151 if (self->options->host_override)
152 {
153 if (self->options->host_override_len < 0)
154 self->options->host_override_len =
strlen(self->options->host_override);
155 log_msg_set_value(msg, LM_V_PROGRAM,
self->options->host_override, self->
options->host_override_len);
156 }
Taking a not-so-wild guess, I changed line 155 to read:
log_msg_set_value(msg, LM_V_HOST,self->options->host_override, self->
options->host_override_len);
(changing LM_V_PROGRAM to LM_V_HOST)
and that fixed my problem. Is this something that can be fixed, or
should I be bringing this issue to someone in particular's attention?
thanks,
