I think we have a $(/ $R_MIN 5) template function for integer division, likewise we have multiplication as well, which you can use to achieve the same a lot easier.

My approach is:

    rewrite {

        # e.g: 20170417/1000PM

        set("00", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "0"));

        set("05", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "5"));

        set("10", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "10"));

        set("15", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "15"));

        set("20", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "20"));

        set("25", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "25"));

        set("30", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "30"));

        set("35", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "35"));

        set("40", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "40"));

        set("45", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "45"));

        set("50", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "50"));

        set("55", value("min_slice"), condition("$R_MIN" >= "55"));

        # final macro

        set("${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}-${HOUR12}${min_slice}${AMPM}", value("logfmt_file"));

        set("${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}/${HOUR12}${min_slice}${AMPM}", value("logfmt_dir"));

    };

Hi,

Are multiple channel{} commands processed in parallel or sequentially?

This is possible, but with quite ugly syntax. I always wanted to add some syntactic sugar, but never got around to do it.

It looks like this:

junction {

   channel {

       # if, with conditions specified as filters

       filter { whatever... };

       destination { whatever };

       flags(final);

    };

    channel {

       # else, you can add filters as well

       destination { something else };

       flags(final);

    };

};

The key parts:

* This can be embedded to any log statement as it is

* It uses inline filters and destinations, but you can use other definitions by using simple parens instead of braces.

* flags final which causes processing to be stopped at the first match. Without that, you'd be duplicating messages, if the conditions overlap.

* You can add any number of channels, you are not limited to one if/else construct. It is more like a filter based switch with multple potential branches.

Hope this helps,

Ops! The documentation explaining only to use with templates.

Basically, I am looking for how to do the below pseudo-code.

    destination {

        if ($R_MIN >= 0 && $R_MIN < 30)

            file("/path/file_00m-15m.log");

        else

            file("/path/file_30m-60m.log");

        endif()        

    };

p.s: I need to save the logs in chunks of 30 minutes being 00m-30m & 31m-60m

hi team,

is it possible to use if() ... else statements on syslog-ng 3.7? I am trying to do something like.

if ($value >= X)

  ......

else
