I'm using this as the preferred choice for receiving logs from Windows boxen.
I was trying to decipher their input as to how to word the filters and am coming up short other than putting a direct match for the host name I am using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't use a filter, but use a destination along the lines of ...
file("/path/to/logs/$HOST/$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY"
Sorry to interrupt but: I actually wanted this exact organisation system (/path/to/logs/$HOST) but I decided against it because of what I read in the syslog-ng FAQ. Is this information out of date?. [OT] It's all irrelevant now anyway because I managed to break syslog-ng, it now no longer logs anything, or gives any errors :S mark www.darklogik.org
template("$FULLDATE $FULLHOST $FACILITY.$PRIORITY $MSG\n") owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));
... which means that logs for each host go into a separate directory, and that they are 'rotated' on a daily basis. This may not suit your needs, but works well for me.
Cheers Phil
