Hi,

I wrote a script to filter out the matching syslog messages and send as SNMP traps. In syslog-ng.conf, I use:

filter f_snmp { match("XXXX" value("MESSAGE"))
destination d_snmp(program("send_trap.sh"))

If I use logger to manually generate the messages, the traps can be sent successfully. But if the exact same syslog message that was generated by a program, the traps were not triggered. I use syslog-ng version 3.0.5-1 x86_64.

Can anyone provide any insight on this issue?

Thanks
Xuan
