[syslog-ng] underscore issue

5 Jan 2009

      Hi all,

I'm using syslog-ng 2.0.9 as a central logging server with destination 
like this:
destination r_messages   { file 
("/logpool/logs/$DAY$MONTH$YEAR/$HOST_$DAY$MONTH$YEAR$_$HOUR");     };

But I get this:
#ls /logpool/logs/05012009
0501200910

HOST is not expanded and _  before $HOUR is missing . What is special 
about underscore ?

While using
destination r_messages   { file 
("/logpool/logs/$DAY$MONTH$YEAR/$HOST-$DAY$MONTH$YEAR$-$HOUR");     };
everything is fine:

# ls  /logpool/logs/05012009/
10.96.47.233-05012009-10

I would prefer to use an underscore if I could.
Thank you,
Stefan
