Re: [syslog-ng] I want to forward Windows server 2008 R2 logs to Linux syslog-ng.

      Hi Jim.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Excuse me, Can you write a config file for me that collect Windows log?

One way to check would be to have syslog-ng use the host macro as
    part of the directory (or file) name and let it create directories
    (or files) for every host it hears from like this:

change create_dirs(yes) 

and create a destination that will use information it parses out of
    the received logs in the filenames:

destination d_separatedbyhosts {
  file( "/var/log/$HOST/$HOST.$FACILITY.$SEVERITY.$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY"
    );
}

then don't filter at all - just let syslog-ng create at will.

While this may not be what you want eventually, it would let
    syslog-ng create files for any host it hears from, and that might
    show you how the $HOST macro is being parsed.

I have a Windows Box that want to forward all Even logs to my Linux box. I install Snare on Windows(172.30.10.19) and configure it to forward logs to Linux  and my Linux box receive it properly. When I use " tcpdump udp "port 514" ", Tcpdump show me that Snare sending Logs to Linux but Syslog-ng can't write it to log files :(. I paste my syslog-ng configure :

Can you tell me how can I solve this problem?
