It was added in version 3.8, so you should install a more recent version of syslog-ng. You can find links to download locations and documentation at https://syslog-ng.org/3rd-party-binaries/

Hi,

I would like to use the date-parser.

When i using the below parse it says "date-parser not found":

parser haproxy_date {

    date-parser(

         format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z")

         template("$(substr ${MSG} 0 27)") );.

};

Plugin module not found in 'module-path'; module-path='/usr/lib/syslog-ng/3.5.6', module='date-parser'

Error parsing parser expression, parser plugin date-parser not found in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/20-haproxy.conf at line 26, column 5:

                                                          included from /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf line 165, column 1

    date-parser(

    ^^^^^^^^^^^

It's weird, because when i try to use the date-parser module in the log section:

log { source(s_haproxy); filter(f_haproxy_info); date-parser(format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z") template("$(substr ${MSG} 0 27)") ); destination(d_haproxy_info); };

it says:

Error parsing log, syntax error, unexpected LL_IDENTIFIER, expecting '}' in /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/20-haproxy.conf at line 37, column 5:

                                                              included from /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf line 165, column 1

    date-parser(format("%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z") template("$(substr ${MSG} 0 27)") );

    ^^^^^^^^^^^

In OSE version the date-parser module is not available, or i'm missing something?

Thanks, Robert
