[syslog-ng]log to database and storage (urgent)

17 Nov 2004

      Hello list

I compiled syslog-ng version 1.6.5 on Red Hat 3.0. The remote logging
mechanism works (for example it fills my database) but he dont logs to
the filesystem (storage). It means I shoud have two copies of log: one in
database and one on filesystem for save.

 From my configuratioon I excpect to make directories and files with
logs. For example /mnt/syslog/hosts/192.168.21.15/auth/200410 shoud be there.

With lsof and ls I see no transaction to filesystem (I SIGHUPED syslog-ng)

        create_dirs(yes);

        unix-stream("/dev/log"); 
        internal(); 
# auf UDP 514 listening
        udp();
};
source network { 
        udp();
};
# Log syslog-ng zu mysql database
destination d_mysql { pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" 
template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag,
date, time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY',
'$LEVEL','$TAG',
'$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n")
template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(src); destination(d_mysql);
};
# Log syslog-ng zu shared Storage
destination std { 
        file("/mnt/syslog/hosts/$HOST/$FACILITY/$YEAR_$MONTH" 
                owner(root) group(root) perm(0601) dir_perm(0700)
create_dirs(yes) ); };
log { 
        source(network); 
        destination(std); 
};

I also tried with the configuration from friendly campin
(http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/expanded-syslog-ng.conf) with minimal
modifcation (we dont use dns).

Please share ur knowledge with me (tried serveral days without luck)

kind regards
Jeremy
