Hi guys!

Following the sample described in https://www.balabit.com/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/generating-configuration-blocks.html

1) I have my 'confgen' script that prints the below file() entries. (p.s: these files has content.)

# /etc/syslog-ng/scripts/confgen-modsec-skeleton.sh

file("/opt/nginx/logs/waf/www.cocada.com" program_override("ng_modsec") flags(no-parse));

file("/opt/nginx/logs/waf/www.caipirinha.com" program_override("ng_modsec") flags(no-parse));

# 

2) My config set:

# cat /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/nginx_modsec.conf 

options {

    threaded(yes);

    flush_lines(0);

    use-dns(no);

    normalize-hostnames(yes);

    keep-hostname(yes);

};

destination d_collector {

    tcp("192.168.1.248" port(514)  keep-alive(on)  );

};

log {

@module confgen context(source) name(s_nginx_modsec_log) exec("/etc/syslog-ng/scripts/confgen-modsec-skeleton.sh")

    destination(d_collector);

};

# 

Conclusion: The syslog-ng doesn't call the script at any time.

# strace -fff /usr/sbin/syslog-ng -dvte 2>&1 | grep "confgen-modsec"

p.s: I have 'confgen' support.

# syslog-ng --version | grep confgen

I appreciate any help.
