Hello! Just a guess, but have you tried dir_group, etc. options as well? Regards, Gabor On Tue, Feb 27, 2018 at 12:08 PM, Machiel Richards <machiel.richards@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I have added that and restarted syslog-ng, however still no difference.
Still creates the directories and files with root as owner and group.
drwxrwx--- 3 root root 4.0K Feb 27 13:07

Add create_dirs (yes) in the options section.

Good day guys
I am having an issue that I seem not be able to resolve thus far.
I am fairly new to syslog-ng and have setup a new syslog server.
We have managed to get most of our servers sending logs to the server without issues, however I am having trouble to get syslog-ng to create the directories and files with the correct ownership.
We have a seperate user and group which it needs to create directories with, however it keeps on creating directories and files as root user.
below is my current config :
# First, set some global options. options { chain_hostnames(off); flush_lines(0); use_dns(yes); use_fqdn(yes); owner("syslog"); group("syslog"); perm(0640); stats_freq(0); bad_hostname("^gconfd$"); log_fifo_size(10000); };
source inputs { system(); internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); tcp(max_connections(50)); udp(); };
destination logpile {
file("/var/log/HOSTS/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$FACILITY.$YEAR$MONTH$DAY" owner("syslog") group("syslog") perm(0660) create_dirs(yes) dir_perm(0770)); };
log { source(inputs); destination(logpile); };
Can someone please assist me as any help would be appreciated.
Regard
