Hi, My log source sends data over syslog in CEF (Arcsight format). I have a simple parser written in Syslog-NG that takes advantage of the CEF format (that is all messages are in eight fields separated by a pipe char). -----------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx------------------- parser p_cef { csv-parser(columns("cef.ff","cef.vendor","cef.product","cef.c4","cef.c5","cef.c6","cef.c7","cef.c8") delimiters("|") flags(drop-invalid) ); }; destination d_file { file("/var/log/net/${cef.vendor}/${cef.product}/logfile"); }; log { source(s_tcp); parser(p_cef); destination(d_file); }; -----------xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx------------------- Some events coming in contain binary data that get translated into control characters and create thousands of directories with garbage in the names. How do I handle binary data in the message? Should I use the sanitize function in the destination/file definition or is there a better way to do it? Also, how do I create a catch-all destination for all the messages that do not match my parser? Thanks!
