greetings I have setup a syslog-ng server, which I intent to use to filter the messages from squid. Currently I filter all the messages from squid and send them to a pipe. on the other end of this pipe I have my perl script which formats the data and stores it into my postgres database. the problem is that when I try to run /tmp/pgsql.pipe > script.perl I get the error permission denied. I run that command as root, the pipe is owned by root, and the owner. and the same goes for script.perl. second question: In most tutorials I see for database usage with syslog-ng everyone used a template insert command with variables. does anyone know if such variables exist for the squid access logs ? best wishes -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
