Hi,

i've looked there already, before posting to mailing list, but i don't
see answer for my question there.
Ok, i saw $HOST macro, but it's not what i'm looking for.
I don't care what `hostname` gives me. For me important thing is
string from file and this string should be used as part of filename.
Or mabye i misunderstand something?

Regards,
p.

Look at http://www.balabit.com/dl/guides/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.pdf
in the "macros" section. You can use variables inside the file() statement.
It even has an example doing exactly what youre wanting to do.

Subject: [syslog-ng] composing file names with system varible

Hi,

i've on my machine file with some name, for example:
# cat /var/hostname
smeagol

now i want to have log files like this:
/var/log/smeagol-all.log

if i change content of /var/hostname and then restart syslog-ng,
syslog-ng shoud start logging to files with new name.

is it possible? mabye no directly but with some workaround?

regards,
p.
