Hi, Steven Meacham <smeacham@charter.net> [20061117 10:26:17 -0600]:
Need help with having Syslog-ng import a log file into Syslog-ng. I have a proxy server that will not syslog but will log to a file than can ftp of the server. I am wondering how I can take the ftped file and send it to the Syslog-ng so It can be sysloged to our database server for review? Any help would be great? Thanks.
ewwwwwww. Change proxy server :) Squid is really nice to syslog with :) If its a UNIX box you could still run syslog-ng, get your proxy to log to a pipe device. http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/reference-2.0/syslog-ng.html/index... If its not even windoze supports pipes and you could write some code to generate the simple UDP syslog messages and send them to a central server. Remove FTP from the loop, or any file transfer protocol; even the network filesystems. You are making it too complicated. Cheers Alex
