Hi List, I have 2 questions about the sql driver. First, I am trying to get messages into sql using the sql driver but I get an error when I try and restart syslog-ng when I enable the log statement with the sql destination. The syslog-ng --syntax-only command runs without any issues but systemd throws and error that it cannot restart the service but doesn't give a clear reason. My config is below, doesn't anyone know where in a log I can see why it won't restart?? source s_network { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; destination d_mysql { sql(type(mysql) host("127.0.0.1") username("syslog-ng") password("password") database("syslog") table("messages_${HOST}") columns("date", "host", "message") values("${R_DATE}", "${HOST}", "${MESSAGE}") indexes("date", "host") ); }; log { source(s_network); destination(d_mysql); }; My second question is can you use a template with the sql destination driver? I need to reformat some Cisco Nexus logs because of how it formats the date (looks to be non RFC compliant) and if so, can someone give me a sample of config with the template in the sql destination driver? I cannot seem to find in the docs if this is even possible much less and example of how to do it. TIA, Max
