Hi Vikrot, $HOST gives the IP address or the FQDN according to the settings I am looking for a way to pass the log file path as a string to the syslog-master and use it On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 3:46 PM, Juhász, Viktor <viktor.juhasz@balabit.com> wrote:
Hi,
If I understand you well, You should use HOST macro in the file name.

Hi Sandor,
I do not need to maintain the file hierarchy I just one to transfer the file path to the server and use it as a macro on the server side because the path is the only way I am able to identify the files I send as they have the same name and same content

Hi all,
I have multiple files with the same content on the syslog-ng client These files are stored on different locations with the same file name and same content After receiving I want to store these files with different names on sysog-ng server Is there any way I could use the filepath or filename of the receiving file as a macro or any way to achieve this..?
I'm having some trouble understading what you're after. Do you want to simply transfer files from remote systems to a central place and keep a similar filesystem hierarchy on the central location as well? For such a purpose syslog isn't the preferred way as it isn't a generic purpose transport so use something else like rsync.
There are ways to manipulate messages on the originating side (for example by adding tags to the syslog-ng source definitions) and encapsulating the extra information into the message payload you'll be able to extract the information on the remote side - but I'm not sure it worths the effort.
hth,
