Re: [syslog-ng] get destination(s) based on log facility and severity

No. The task is to get the destination (log file) for the given facility. Right now I have brute force discovery like:

# logger -p facility.info unique_message # grep -l unique_message /var/log/*

I'd like to be able to query syslog-ng and get a list of destinations.

I do not think that's possible to do, save parsing the config file. It may be possible to add some debugging stuff to syslog-ng, that would echo the information you need, but it's not currently present. I also fail to see why this would be useful, but that might just be my lack of imagination O:) -- |8]
