Hi Bazsi, Thanks for the info. Do you think that can affect also the ‘year’ behaviour? I would love to provide some help testing this... but I am not good at it :( Thanks for the explanation and for pointing at the mod. Regards, Marco

The issue is that syslog-ng only processes mixed case month names, e.g. "Nov" instead of "NOV"
This pull request contains the as-of-now unmerged fix: https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/pull/1263 <https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng/pull/1263>
Any testing is absolutely welcome.

When syslog receives syslog messages from couple of specific nodes it saves it on a destination folder as per the config below:
source s_rohnet { network( transport("udp") ); };
destination d_rohnet_switches { file("/var/log/ROHNetwork/${YEAR}.${WEEK}/${HOST}.log" create-dirs(yes) dir-owner("rohadmin")); };
The devices are NTP synchronised and the date output is correct on the Ubuntu server:
date
Tue Nov 22 11:21:14 GMT 2016
Beside these the log folders created where the files gets stored are: /2015.51/192.168.33.8.log (it should be /2016.47/).
This is happening only for two nodes while all the rest seems to work fine.
I have captured some network traffic and the message received by syslog-ng on the network card seems also correct as per Wireshark output:
Syslog message: LOCAL6.NOTICE: NOV 22 10:31:23 192.168.33.8-1 CMDLOGGER[165319912]: cmd_logger_api.c(83) 13518 %% CLI:192.168.32.100:root:User logged in
This is a Dell switch and I am opening a case with them but I would like to know where else I should check for configuration errors.
Syslog config is exactly the one reported above.
Any idea of what I could check for further troubleshooting on the Syslog side?
Thanks, Marco
