Dynamically Generated Directory Names
by Mike 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hello. I was wondering if when given this file structure on a source server: /var/log/sudo-io/xx/yy/zz/ where xx, yy and zz are dynamically strings that run from 00 to FF inclusive e.g. /var/log/sudo-io/00/00/00/ /var/log/sudo-io/07/FE/90/ /var/log/sudo-io/0A/BF/D4/ /var/log/sudo-io/FF/FF/FF/ and the files that are located under each instance of /var/log/sudo-io/xx/yy/zz/ are: log stderr stdin stdout timing ttyin ttyout Is syslog-ng PE capable of recreating that exact same directory structure (including the original filenames) on the target (remote) host or should I perhaps just opt for rdiff or rsync instead? Thanks, Mike

[PATCH (3.4) 1/2] value-pairs: Update value_pairs_new_from_cmdline() to 3.4.
by Gergely Nagy 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

A while ago the template functions were changed so that their argv[0] became the template function's name. What this means for value-pairs() is that we no longer need to play dirty tricks with its argv[] to please g_option_context_parse(), which expected the zero-index argument to be a program name.

Time zone problem - take 2
by Tamas Szklenar 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I tried to configure the time zones about the manuals, but it is not working for me and I have no more ideas... Our syslog-ng server located in Cambridge, US (UT-04:00) and one of our client computers is in Arizona (UT-07:00). I tried to set up the config files with these time zones. I attached the config files to my mail, could you please help to solve this problem? Thanks for the help! Tamas

syslog-ng FAQ moved and updated
by Peter Czanik 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hello, First of all, a big “thank you” to Nate Campi, who maintained the syslog-ng FAQ for many years. He covered version 1.X and 2.0 with many useful questions and answers. There is now also a company behind syslog-ng with a growing team. Syslog-ng has seen a major new version, and this brought in many changes. So after discussing it with Nate, based on his work, we moved the updated syslog-ng FAQ in house. We also changed the URL in the syslog-ng mailing list footer, so it points now to: http://www.balabit.com/wiki/syslog-ng-faq The new FAQ is based on our internal knowledge base and on Nate's FAQ and updated to reflect version 3.X information. All 1.X and 2.0 specific information is removed, as these versions are not supported by BalaBit any more. If you need information on these old versions, the old FAQ is still available at the usual location at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html and the syslog-ng mailing list has many participants, who can give help on older versions (and most likely advice moving to version 3.X :-) ). The FAQ is not something static, but a constantly evolving information resource. We plan to extend it based on frequently upcoming questions on the mailing list. I already have some candidates in mind. To place a question of yours into the syslog-ng FAQ, please don’t hesitate to contact us here on the syslog-ng mailing list! Bye, -- Peter Czanik (CzP) <czanik(a)balabit.hu> BalaBit IT Security / syslog-ng upstream http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/

get destination(s) based on log facility and severity
by Dejan Muhamedagic 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

Hi, We have a kind of machinery which collects syslog logs from several hosts. Currently it works by sending a message using logger(1) to the given facility.severity and then looking up the message in log files in /var/log and a few other directories (using grep). I'm looking for a more robust and faster way to discover the destination. Would that be possible with syslog-ng? And which is the optimal way to achieve that? An extra syslog-ng option? An extra binary? Or perhaps using logger(1)? Cheers, Dejan

problem to filter remote-logs on syslog-server
by system＠ra-schaal.de 08 Jun '11

08 Jun '11

I try to filter with syslog ng 3.2.4 log files from another server to local files. The syslog-server receives all log entries from the remote-server. If i let syslog-server write over "SOURCE network", the log is provided. But the integration in src local does not fold however. I.e on syslog-server this works: log { source(network); destination(foo); }; but log { source(src); filter (f_foo); destination (d_foo) }; doesn´t contains any entries from the remote server. remote-server-config: options { chain_hostnames(no); create_dirs(yes); dns_cache(yes); flush_lines(1); keep_hostname(yes); log_fifo_size(16384); log_msg_size(8192); long_hostnames(off); perm(0640); stats_freq(43200); time_reopen(10); use_dns(yes); use_fqdn(yes); }; destination remote { udp("syslog-server" port(514)); }; log { source(src); destination(remote); }; syslog-server-config: options as on the remote-server source src {internal(); udp(port(514)); unix-dgram("/dev/log"); unix-dgram("/var/lib/named/dev/log"); }; source network { udp(port(514)); };

[RFC] value-pairs and key rewriting
by Gergely Nagy 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hi! Now that value-pairs() is in 3.3, it's time to dig up an idea Bazsi and I were discussing way back when we first talked about value-pairs: a way to change the keys in a value-pairs set, without the need to explicitly specify them all using pair(). It's actually easier to explain this by explaining the need behind this feature: there's the MongoDB destination, and by default, SDATA goes under the "sdata" key, somewhat like this: { "sdata": { "test": "value" } } Now, if I'd rather have those values under, say "sd", I can't do that with the current driver, because I can't tell value-pairs() that "sdata" should be mapped to "sd" instead. The best I can do, is exclude ".SDATA.*", and either use "$SDATA", and post-process it, or list all the .SDATA.* keys explicitly. Neither of which is good enough. So, I propose that we should have a way to remedy this problem, and this remedy should be called "rekey()". The way I imagine it, is something like this: value-pairs ( scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs") rekey( regexp("^\.SDATA\.(.*)" "sd.$1") prefix(".secevt.*" "events") prefix("[A-Z]*" "syslog.") ) ) This would do the following: - Any key that begins with ".SDATA." will have that part replaced with "sd." - Keys matching ".secevt.*" (shell glob, not regexp) will be prefixed with "events". Thus ".secevt.verdict" would become "events.secevt.verdict". - Keys that are all uppercase would be prefixed with "syslog.", thus "HOST" would become "syslog.HOST" The transformations would be applied to the raw set of keys, in the order they're listed in the configuration file. Initially, regexp() and prefix() would be implemented only, with the possibility of adding more, if the need arises. This would also solve another problem I encountered recently: if the value-pairs() result set contains both "$SDATA" and "$SDATA.*" (which is the case if one specifies scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs") and the incoming message has structured data), then we'll have a key conflict in the MongoDB destination, because internally "foo.bar" gets translated to (using JSON notation): { "foo": { "bar": ... } } Now, in the case of SDATA, this translates to something like the following: { SDATA: "[foo=bar]", // $SDATA SDATA: { "foo": "bar" // $SDATA.foo } } This is because the MongoDB destination strips the leading dot at the moment (because that would be invalid too), and we end up with conflicting types: one string, and one object. The driver does not support overriding right now, so this is a problem. I could, of course, change the driver to replace the dot with an underscore, but that would be costier than the current stripping, and would still be ugly, in my opinion. It's much nicer to allow the users to rewrite the keys instead, or prefix them. That's about how far I got with thinking for now. Critique, comments and ideas would be most appreciated. (PS: This is, of course, strictly 3.4 material, as 3.3 is in a feature freeze) -- |8]

I have tried the dmz installed it still not logging i am tryng to upgrade to version 3.2.4 from 3.0.8 to see if that might fix my issue I have installed eventlog 2.12 but when i try to do my config it still says i have event log 2.0.9 just to see if i could bypass it I changed the the min eventlog to the version it says i have in the configure file do a config no problem but now fail on the make with mv:rename .deps/misc.tpo .deps/misc.plo no such file or dir make [3]: *** [misc.lo] error 1 make [2]: *** [all] error 2 make [1]: *** [all-recursive] error 1 make: *** [all] error 2 all done in SU if i could get the other version to log I would be good and until i prove it works for us i can not tell them i want the pe version

[Fw: keep_hostname (yes); and source file]
by Steven Blatchford 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

There seems to be no hostname associated with file() so it uses the first word of the message. The first word of the log message is 'DEBUG'. On the central log server I added 'DEBUG' to the filter host and it worked. Is there a way to set the hostname when the source uses file() ? -steve ----- Forwarded message from Steven Blatchford <sblatchford(a)gmail.com> ----- >From: Steven Blatchford <sblatchford(a)gmail.com> >Subject: keep_hostname (yes); and source file >To: syslog-ng(a)lists.balabit.hu >Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 18:29:41 -0400 > >Hello, > >I have a file, /srv/http/foo/var/log/system.log that I would like sent >to our central log.

Syslog-ng timestamp problem
by Tamas Szklenar 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I configured a syslog-ng server and several clients for testing and it is working great, my only problem is with the timestamp() option. We have a lot of computer in different time zones and I would like to set up the system to keep the messages time stamps. Here is the config for the syslog-ng server: options { flush_lines(5); flush_timeout(1000); time_reopen(10); log_fifo_size(1000); long_hostnames(off); use_dns(yes); dns_cache_hosts(/etc/hosts); use_fqdn(no); create_dirs(yes); dir_perm(0700); keep_hostname(yes); keep_timestamp(yes); stats_freq(0); }; Is there something else what I have to whit this? Thanks for your help! Tamas

[git] 3.3 tree rebased
by Balazs Scheidler 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I've rebased my git tree yesterday, to clean up some commit issues I made while in a hurry in the last days. And here's a question for those who use the git tree: are you bothered with rebases? I mean I know it can disrupt things a bit, but I feel the added benefit for a clean(er) history is worth the trouble. If it is indeed a problem for people then I'll refrain from rebasing in the future. Opinions? -- Bazsi

libdbi too old?
by John Kristoff 02 Jun '11

02 Jun '11

I ran into a problem upgrading from an OSE syslog-ng 3.1.1 to OSE syslog 3.2.4 on a CentOS 64-bit box running under a VM. When starting 3.2.4, here is what I got: Starting syslog-ng... /usr/lib64/dbd/libdbdpgsql.so: undefined symbol: _dbd_parse_datetime libdbi: Failed to load driver: /usr/lib64/dbd/libdbdpgsql.so The database access library (DBI) reports no usable SQL drivers, perhaps DBI drivers are not installed properly; Error initializing dest driver; dest='d_foo', id='d_foo#0' Error initializing message pipeline; The following relevant packages are installed: libdbi-dbd-pgsql.x86_64 0.8.1a-1.2.2 libdbi-devel.i386 0.8.1-2.1 libdbi-devel.x86_64 0.8.1-2.1 It looks like I have an libdbi that is probably just too old? Not an unheard of issue when using CentOS and RedHat, but if there is an easy work around, I'd be interested in hearing about any ideas. Thanks, John

keep_hostname (yes); and source file
by Steven Blatchford 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hello, I have a file, /srv/http/foo/var/log/system.log that I would like sent to our central log. This config was not working: @version: 3.0 # # /etc/syslog-ng.conf # options { stats_freq (0); flush_lines (0); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames(off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (yes); perm(0640); group("log"); }; source s_foo { file("/srv/http/foo/var/log/system.log"); }; log { source(s_foo); destination(d_net); }; destination d_net { udp("host.org"); }; It does work if I comment out 'keep_hostname (yes);'. Can someone explain to me why this is? -steve
