Question: The variables in my file destination are not working. file("/var/log/syslogng/$YEAR_$MONTH_$DAY_$WEEKDAY_$HOST.log"); I expect my log files to be something like: /var/log/syslogng/2003_12_03_WED_10.2.2.2.log Instead they are: /var/log/syslogng/10.2.2.2.log I had it working at one point but not any longer. Has anyone seen this? I am using libol-0.3.11+20030915 and syslog-ng 1.6.0rc4. My config is: # syslog-ng.conf options { long_hostnames(yes); use_dns(yes); use_fqdn(yes); dns_cache(yes); dns_cache_size(500); dns_cache_expire(3600); dns_cache_expire_failed(3600); check_hostname(yes); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(yes); log_msg_size(8192); sync(10); log_fifo_size(2048); time_reopen(10); use_time_recvd(yes); }; source src { udp(); internal(); }; destination syslogfile { file( "/var/log/syslogng/$YEAR_$MONTH_$DAY_$WEEKDAY_$HOST.log.log" create_dirs(yes) owner("bob") group("other") perm(644) remove_if_older(3600) ); }; log { source(src); destination(syslogfile); }; _________________________________________________________________ Take advantage of our best MSN Dial-up offer of the year six months @$9.95/month.
