[syslog-ng] MongoDB and syslog-ng 3.3 on Centos 5.5

2 Aug 2011


      Hello.
Can you help me with syslog-ng 3.3 on the CentoOS 5.5 with MongoDB 1.6
I install syslog-ng version 3.3 where mongodb support exists. But when I add
to the config mongodb destination I get an error:

Starting syslog-ng: Error parsing destination, destination plugin mongodb
...
not found in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf at line 70, column 5:
    mongodb(
    ^^^^^^^
syslog-ng.conf

@version: 3.3

#
# configuration file for syslog-ng, customized for remote logging
#
source s_internal { internal(); };
destination d_syslognglog { file("/var/log/syslog-ng.log"); };
log { source(s_internal); destination(d_syslognglog); };
# Local sources, filters and destinations are commented out
# If you want to replace sysklogd simply uncomment the following

# Remote logging

udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};
destination d_separatedbyhosts {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/messages" owner("root") group("root")
perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes));
};
log { source(s_remote); destination(d_separatedbyhosts); };
#MongoDB
 destination d_mongodb {
    mongodb(
      host("127.0.0.1")
      port(27017)
      database("syslog-ng")
      collection("logs")
      keys("date", "facility", "level", "host", "program", "pid",
"message")
      values("${R_YEAR}-${R_MONTH}-${R_DAY}
${R_HOUR}:${R_MIN}:${R_SEC}", "$FACILITY", "$LEVEL", "$HOST","$PROGRAM",
"$PID", "$MSGONLY")
    );
  };
log { source(s_local); destination(d_mongodb); };
In the modules.conf I try to add @afmongodb but this isn't change the
situation.

What's wrong?
