Filter postfix log messages
by Florian Lindner 14 Nov '03

14 Nov '03

Hello, I want to filter out all log messages from postfix. They look like these: Nov 9 14:16:28 s_sys@bastet postfix/pickup[24484]: 4D92C4580B7: uid=30 from=<wwwrun> Nov 9 14:16:28 s_sys@bastet postfix/cleanup[24510]: 4D92C4580B7: message-id=<20031109131628.4D92C4580B7(a)bastet.centershock.net> How can I do that? I tried: filter f_postfix { match(".{16,16}s_sys@bastet postfix"); }; But it doesn't work... Thanks, Florian

GUI Monitoring tool ?
by Tom McGee 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hi, I'm a real newbie to syslog-ng so sorry if this has been asked before. I'm looking for something that will allow me to keep an eye on syslog via some GUI. Ideally via a browser... Any suggestions ? Thanks Tom. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

RE: [syslog-ng]GUI Monitoring tool ?
by Hamilton Andrew 13 Nov '03

What do you mean by "keep an eye on"? Do you want logging stats, or just "is it running"? There are a number of system monitoring tools out there that will let "watch" various processes including syslog-ng. I use Big Brother(http://www.bb4.com). I wrote a couple of scripts that monitor the syslog-ng process and plugged them into Big Brother so I could ensure that it was alive and kicking. The BB results are posted on a series of web pages, all of which are customizable. I know there are several others out there and some of the other folks here use them so perhaps they will respond as well.

Backslash-escaped quotes in message strings
by Jos Vos 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hi, When a single (') or double (") quote appears in a syslog message, this quote gets escaped with a backslash by syslog-ng, which results in pretty ugly output, different from what the standard Linux sysklogd does (this doesn't change the message). Can this be considered a bug (or is it a feature)? Thanks, -- -- Jos Vos <jos(a)xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204

RE: [syslog-ng]Use template() for Program()

>the template() function applies to file destination too in syslog-ng 1.6. >( and if i'm not wrong it applies to all destination now even udp() and >tcp() ) >I cannot remember when syslog-ng starts to apply template function to file >but there is a patch for 1.5.20. Thanks, I was on syslog-ng 1.5.26. I am now upgraded to 1.6.0rc4 and it works great. _________________________________________________________________ Crave some Miles Davis or Grateful Dead?

I have made a patch (attached) to solve this - at least in my specific situation - but the question is: does this maybe break something else?

Use template() for Program()
by Kenneth Webber 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

I dont want to reinvent the wheal. I like the functionality of the template () function. Is there a way to apply the template () to a program destination or is template only good for file ()? -Ken _________________________________________________________________ From Beethoven to the Rolling Stones, your favorite music is always playing on MSN Radio Plus.

Logging options in XML?
by Forrest Aldrich 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

I understand that the logging function(s) of syslog-ng can be customized/modified, and I saw some mention of enabling syslog-ng to log into XML - is this possible, and if so I'd be interested in the nuances or hearing any experience with it.
