Hello there,
I’ve got a pretty annoying problem with syslog-ng 3.3.5 and log filenames. I think my syslog-ng.cfg is a little unconventional because I’ve configured for each log file a file statement and a uniq program name to keep
the filenames from the client on the server. The cfg I’ve attached bellow is only a small part of it because I can’t show you everything. In the original syslog-ng.cfg I’ve configured about 120 individual log files.
Now to the problem. Each day I’m getting log file names like this on my log server:
/log/applogs/2012/08/17/perl-1.hk.fra1.xing.com/t.file(d_applogs#0,/log/applogs/2012/08/17/mx2-2.xing.com/syslog-ng)=0',
/log/applogs/2012/08/15/syslog-2.log.fra2.xing.com/ropped='dst.file(d_syslog#0,/log/syslog
/log/syslog/2012/08/17/ fai-1.ops.fra1 fai?
This is pretty annoying because my script which is compressing the logs is failing on these files. Does anybody know this problem?
