hello,

I have allready posted my syslog-ng problem to this mailinglist on friday; now, I hope I can make things more clear:

I am using Suse8.0 with syslog-ng to monitor enterasys ans cabletron network equipment (switches, routers.... ); and have some problems with the configuration:

in my syslog-ng.conf:

destination local7 {
   file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/local7.log"
         sync(0) log_fifo_size(10) create_dirs(yes)
         owner(root) group(system) perm(0660) dir_perm(0770));
};

because of this configuration a system message like:
"Jul 15 13:56:28 %STP-I-PORT_STATUS,/10.146.12.16 Port status change detected: et.3.6 - Port Up"
should be stored in "/var/log/syslog-ng/10.146.12.16/local7.log"
but it´s stored in: "/var/log/syslog-ng/%STP-I-PORT_STATUS,/local7.log".

what can i do?? Please help me!!!

Thanks in advance
manfred
