Greetings!
I have looked for this information elsewhere but have not found it, thus I bring it to the community.
I have two questions regarding the syslog-ng configuration file;
#1.) Is there an "include" statement to grab additional configuration parameters, similar to httpd.conf or named.conf? I suspect the answer is no. I am responsible for a couple of syslog-ng implementations that have gotten to be huge and working with a single file is getting to be a problem.
currently it is recommended to use some kind of preprocessor (for example cpp) .
#2.) I would like to state functions such as "greater than" and "less than" for logging levels/priorities. This functionality is available in the BSD syslogd and some others, but I am not aware of any such thing in syslog-ng. I can't imagine that this hasn't come up before. To get around this, I made a an ugly 55-line syslog-ng configuration with filters to which I can reference, but I really don't want them all in my syslog-ng.conf, thus question number 1.
it is possible to specify ranges like this: filter f_pri { level(emerg..info); }; Does this solve your problem? -- Bazsi
