When I try to use mongodb, I receive the following error message:
Feb 2 15:33:54 linux-8k4b syslog-ng[9403]: syslog-ng starting up; version='3.3.0alpha0' Feb 2 15:33:54 linux-8k4b syslog-ng[9403]: Error connecting to MongoDB; Feb 2 15:33:54 linux-8k4b syslog-ng[9403]: Error connecting to MongoDB; Feb 2 15:33:54 linux-8k4b syslog-ng[9403]: Network error while inserting into MongoDB; time_reopen='60'
The relevant part of my syslog-ng.conf is (taken from an earlier e-mail on the list):
destination d_mongodb { mongodb( host("localhost") port(27017) database("syslog-ng") collection("logs") keys("date", "facility", "level", "host", "program", "pid", "message") values("${R_YEAR}-${R_MONTH}-${R_DAY} ${R_HOUR}:${R_MIN}:${R_SEC}", "$FACILITY", "$LEVEL", "$HOST","$PROGRAM", "$PID", "$MSGONLY") ); };
That seems correct. Could it be caused by apparmor or some other similar thing? If not, I'd appreciate if you could send me a strace of syslog-ng (privately, the list would probably reject it anyway). Connection can only fail if: * socket() fails, but that is highly unlikely. * connect() fails, but then you'd see something on tcpdump, I believe. * setsockopt() or fcntl fails (unlikely, imo) * malloc fails (again, very unlikely) My vague guess would be something external preventing syslog-ng to connect to mongodb. Then again, I should tweak the libmongo-client API a bit, so we could provide better error messages. -- |8]
