Another method is to create a script called for instance syslog-ng-mail.sh, containing #!/bin/sh while read line; do echo $line | /usr/bin/mailx -s "$1" $2 done ...and then pipe all your matched messages to this script with two arguments of the subject and email address to send to. This makes it very generic. /Mick

Assuming you have a comprehensive file with all of the messages in /var/log/$HOST/messages, just set up a nightly cron job to cat /var/log/$HOST/messages|mail your email

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to setup email notification of certain log messages. The filters I am using are working great, but my email notifications are empty. What I would like is to receive an email with a subject line similar to "Log notification for hostname" where hostname is the system the message was received from, with the body of the email containing the log message. Is anyone else doing this? Can you provide an example of your method, if so? Or, can anyone give me any pointers on making this work?
