Dear All,

Im currently configuring syslog-ng on SUSE Linux 10 SP2 to communicate with microsoft sql server 2005.

I have installed freeTds 8.0.

Tested TSQL ..works fine
ISQL works fine.

when testing with syslog-ng

Conf file

destination d_mssql {

sql(type(mssql) host("ip address") port("1433")

username("sa") password("password") database("syslogng")

table("test1")

columns("datetime varchar(16)","host varchar(32)" ,"program varchar(32)","pid varchar(8)","message varchar(4096)")

values("$R_DATE", "$HOST", "$PROGRAM", "$PID", "$MSGONLY")

indexes()

);

};

log {

     source(src);

     destination(d_mssql);

};

I get the following error

Note I created the table test1 manually in SQL server

Code:

Jul 12 09:57:06 syslogng syslog-ng[25034]: Error running SQL query; type='freetds', host='ip address', port='1433', user='sa', database='syslogng', error='', query='INSERT INTO test1 (datetime, host, program, pid, message) VALUES (\'Jul 12 08:59:46\', \'syslogng\', \'agetty\', \'25154\', \'/dev/xvc0: No such file or directory\')'
