Hi, I have an application here that does not use syslog but writes all log messages straight into a file. I want to use syslog-ng to pick up the entries of that file and send them over to my log repository via syslog. I am running 3.0.1 and the config looks as follows: * Client side (radserver): source s_accounting { file ("/opt/CSCOar/logs/accounting.log" follow_freq (1) program_override ("radius") flags (no-parse)); }; destination d_archive { udp ("a.b.c.d"); }; log { source (s_accounting); destination (d_archive); }; * Server side (a.b.c.d): source s_udp { udp (); }; destination d_radius { file ("/usr/local/var/log/remote/$HOST_FROM/ accounting.log" template ("$MSGONLY\n")); }; filter f_radius { host ("radserver") and facility (kern); }; log { source (s_udp); filter (f_radius); destination (d_radius); flags (final); }; That works but there are a couple of minor things. - By default all messages coming from the file source driver are tagged with the kern facility. I was not able to find this in the documentation but the source code (cfg-grammar.y) revealed that the file driver accepts the options "facility()" and "level()" to change this behavior. source s_accounting { file ("/opt/CSCOar/logs/accounting.log" follow_freq (1) program_override ("radius") flags (no-parse) facility (local7)); }; fixed that problem. - Empty lines seem to be ignored and not transmitted. The entries: "La la blah blah Hi There good-bye" end up as "La la blah blah Hi There good-bye" in my log file on the server side. Is there a way to enable that? Thanks! - Michael
