Hi, the rpm packages available on our website (http://www.balabit.com/network-security/syslog-ng/opensource-logging-system/...) should contain the required drivers for Oracle as well. What you do need in addition is the Oracle Instant Client Basic Package, which is not part of the OSE packages. You can get it after a free registration from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html I have noticed that this information is missing from the 3.0 adminguide, so I will add it to the next version. You also need to set a few things for the oracle client, these are described in section "3.4.5.1. Using the sql() driver with an Oracle database" of the adminguide (see the middle of the page at http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-v3.0-guide-admin-en.html/ch03s04.ht...). If you find that this information is inaccurate, e.g., you have to set other things as well, please let me know so I can add it to the docs if needed.

We are trying to get syslog-ng (OSE) 3.0.4 on Red Hat AS 4 to feed into an oracle DB using the sql() destination.
We get syslog-ng to install and run A-OK and we think we have it configured right.
What we are struggling with is what all we need to install in addition to syslog-ng. We have installed libdbi-0.8.3.1 and libdbi-devel-0.8.3.1. We have not been able to find the specific oracle driver, which we think we need.
Do we need the specific oracle driver, if so where can we find it?
Thanks...
Mike
