Hello; Excellent! I can't thank you enough. Regards; Frank -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng <syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu> On Behalf Of Peter Kokai (pkokai) Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2020 12:14 PM To: Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list <syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu> Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Set log directory based on the source Hello, You could use macro in order to create different logpath with one file destination: ``` destination d_local0 { file( "${LOGDIR}/local/local0.log" ); }; ``` This is going to create a path based on the current logmessage $LOGDIR variable/macro. The question remains how to calculate $LOGDIR. One option you could use: ``` source s_local0 { internal(); }; source s_network { network(port(1111)); }; destination d_local { file("${LOGDIR}/some/path.txt"); }; rewrite r_logdir { set("logdir-server" value("LOGDIR") condition( source("s_network") ) ); set("logdir-client" value("LOGDIR") condition( source("s_local0") ) ); }; log { source(s_local0); source(s_network); rewrite(r_logdir); destination(d_local); }; ``` The rewrite possible can be replaced, but if you have low number of different path I guess it is enough. (Also you could write more complex condition for different logdir names.) -- Kokan On Thu, Jan 30, 2020 at 11:25:26AM -0500, Frank DiGennaro wrote:

Hello; I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to syslog-ng so forgive me if the question is somewhat basic. I am running syslog-ng 3.25 on both server and clients and would like to set a variable based on the source. This is what I have:
@define server-logdir "/var/log" @define client-logdir "/var/log/CLIENTS/$YEAR/$MONTH_ABBREV/$DAY/$HOST" @define logdir ""
source s_local { logdir `server-logdir`; *No! ... ... }; source s_network { logdir `client-logdir`; *No! ... ... }; destination d_local0 { file( "`logdir`/local/local0.log" ); };
The goal is to set 'logdir' to either 'server-logdir' or 'client-logdir' and use it in the destination. I know there are probably several ways that this can be accomplished but I think this was will cut down on the number of lines in the configuration. So my question Is this. How do I set 'logdir' to either 'server-logdir' or 'client-logdir' in the source definition? Thanks;
