[syslog-ng] syslog-ng does notnwrite in the database

7 Apr 2009

      i use syslog-ng 2.0

Hi
in my syslog-ng server i can write log comming from the client to a file
...
source mysrc{ tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) keep-alive(yes));
#udp();
 };
destination std {
file("/var/log/syslog-ng1/$HOST/messages" owner("root") group("root")
perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes));
};
log {source(mysrc); destination(std);};
destination std1 {
udp("192.168.1.66" port(514));
};
#filter my_filter {match("Apache"); };
#log {
  #    source(mysrc);
#        filter(my_filter);
 #     destination(std);
#};
log {
        source(mysrc);
destination(std1);
};
but when i use a pipe
destination d_mysql {
...
pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe"
template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date,
 time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL',
 '$TAG',
 '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n")
 template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(mysrc); destination(d_mysql);
the wired thing is that when i :
1 runed the   script that binds the pipe  to the database

./mysql.bash&
*# !/bin/bash
if [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]; then
     while [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]
     do
         mysql -u root -D syslog< /tmp/mysql.pipe
     done
else
     mkfifo /tmp/mysql.pipe
fi*

2 created a test sql script
 request.sql
*INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date, time,
program, msg) VALUES ( 'testhost1', 'testfacility1', 'testpriority1',
'0','TestTag1', '2009-04-07', '19:00:00', 'Apache', 'Test Message' );*

*
*
**
3 injected it into the pipe
cat request.sql > /tmp/mysql.pipe*
*
4 tetsted a *select * from tags; *
i found the values on request.sql

strange isn't it?

so what can i do
