I am using following code to dynamically create date wise table and insert records accordingly. ************************ destination d_mysql { sql(type(mysql) host("localhost") username("root") password("XXXXXXXX") database("syslog") table("${R_YEAR}_${R_MONTH}_${R_DAY}") columns( "id int(20) unsigned not null auto_increment primary key", "host varchar(40) not null", "facility varchar(20)", "priority varchar(10)", "level varchar(10)", "program text", "date date not null", "time time not null", "message text not null") values("", "$FULLHOST", "$FACILITY", "$PRIORITY", "$LEVEL", "$PROGRAM", "$R_YEAR-$R_MONTH-$R_DAY", "$R_HOUR:$R_MIN:$R_SEC", "$MSG",) indexes("host","priority")); }; ************************ Above code auto creates table like this ************************ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | host | varchar(40) | NO | MUL | NULL | | | facility | varchar(20) | YES | | NULL | | | priority | varchar(10) | YES | MUL | NULL | | | level | varchar(10) | YES | | NULL | | | program | text | YES | | NULL | | | date | date | NO | | NULL | | | time | time | NO | | NULL | | | message | text | NO | | NULL | | +----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ 9 rows in set (0.01 sec) ************************ Problem is that its not inserting record in the table.

When I insert record using phpmyadmin, the record enter fine with this code INSERT INTO `2020_01_08` (`id`, `host`, `facility`, `priority`, `level`, `program`, `date`, `time`, `message`) VALUES (NULL, '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2020-01-01', '42:00:00', '2'); I tried to add NULL in the values for ID in the syslog-ng code , but no use, as soon as i remove ID DROP the table, & restart syslog-ng service, all goes fine. How can I configure the auto increment column ?
