Hello;

    I use this and it works fine for me.

destination d_remotehosts {

    file( "/var/log/hosts/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" perm( 0644 ) create_dirs( yes ) dir_perm( 0755 ) );

};

Regards;

John

Subject: [syslog-ng] Get host IP inside source { file ( ); } driver

Hi,

I want to read a file which is in the name of the IP of syslog-ng client machine

I tried with $HOST macro 

source { file (/mnt/$HOST); };

But this does not work

Any help on doing this ?
