Hi, We are trying to setup syslog-ng to directly log messages to mysql but I get the following Error in the client messages file:- Dec 1 14:45:27 testbox syslog-ng[15637]: Error running SQL query; type='mysql', host='10.10.10.10', port='4406', user='syslog', database='testdb', error='1142: create command denied to user: \'syslog@10.20.30.40\' for table \'logs\'', query='CREATE TABLE logs (host text, facility text, priority text, tag text, datetime text, program text, server text, msg text)' Dec 1 14:45:27 testbox syslog-ng[15637]: Error checking table, disconnecting from database, trying again shortly; time_reopen='60' I am really confused as to why it is trying to create Table into the database. I already have the table created and I have verified successful connection from this box to the database server. It needs to insert the entries into the database and should not try to CREATE TABLE. I am using syslog-ng 3.0.6 version . Regards, Girish
