Hello,

You can check the available modules with the following command: syslog-ng -V

Probably you will not find mongodb in the list of modules.
If you compile from source syslog-ng try to detect the mongodb client header files. If it doesn't find a proper one, syslog-ng will be compiling without the mongodb destination driver.

So you have to install the proper header file and compile syslog-ng again.

If you use ubuntu/debian distro the following command may help: sudo apt-get install libmongo-client-dev

I hope it helps,

Br,

Laci

Hi,
Can you tell what I'm doing wrong here? I entered destination mongodb { mongodb(); };
log { source(src); destination(mongodb); }; in syslogng.conf as in the directions and this is what happens:

user@syslog:~/syslogng-web$ sudo service syslog-ng restart
* Stopping system logging syslog-ng [ OK ]
* Starting system logging syslog-ng Error parsing destination, destination plugin mongodb not found in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf at line 30, column 23:

destination mongodb { mongodb() ; };
^^^^^^^
