fyi: https://github.com/syslog-ng/syslog-ng/pull/3372 regards, Laszlo Budai ________________________________ From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> on behalf of Ronald Fenner <rfenner@gamecircus.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 5, 2020 8:21:07 PM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Subject: [syslog-ng] Kafka-c topics dynamic CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not follow guidance, click links, or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. When I was using the java implementation I extracted the topic dynamically from the message to route the message to the proper topic. I see in Kafka c implementation that the topic can't use templates so my old method of doing this topic("${topic}.${environment}") No longer works. Is there a way to reproduce this or do I need to go back to the java version for now? Ronald Fenner Network Architect Game Circus LLC. rfenner@gamecircus.com<mailto:rfenner@gamecircus.com>
