Evan, 

Thats very helpful, is there somewhere these performance considerations are outlined? 

Only think I see related is 2.2.1 in the manual. 

I'll try tying combining the destinations under on log statement in the morning.

I would favour a config like

log {
    source(s_net_tcp);
    channel { filter(f_pci); destination (d_splunk_PCI); };
    channel { filter(f_pci); destination (d_sumo_PCI); };

    channel { filter(f_pci); destination (d_secureworks); };
};

Although I think your config should work I don't like the idea of "re-sourcing" the stream.

Now that I look closer at what you have done you are using the same filter, so it could be

log {
    source(s_net_tcp);
    filter(f_pci);
    destination (d_splunk_PCI);
    destination (d_sumo_PCI);

    destination (d_secureworks);
};

which takes the source, filters it and sends to all three destinations.

Evan.

Thanks Jim, 

I have 4 configs

sources.conf

destinations.conf 

filters.conf

log.conf 

Can't post them without revealing sensitive network info but wanted to make sure I wasn't assuming something should just work. 

I'll post more after I dig into it but seems to favor the first matching log destination when I switch the order and reload with syslog-ng-ctl. 

log { source(s_net_tcp); filter(f_pci); destination (d_splunk_PCI);};

log { source(s_net_tcp); filter(f_pci); destination (d_sumo_PCI);};

log { source(s_net_tcp); filter(f_pci); destination (d_secureworks);};

It should work. Would you share the config?

Subject: [syslog-ng] One source multiple destinations ?

I'm having a problem where I am trying to take  input source(s) and write them out to multiple destinations.  

Before I go barking up the wrong tree I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. 

We should be able to take a source and send it to file, elastic-search and SPLUNK and sumologic all at the same time right ? 

Troubleshooting an odd behavior where only one network destination will work but then I switch the order the other starts working.

I know it's vague but has anyone seen this behavior? 

Thanks 

Scot
