Hello,

For test purposes i have changed my configuration, as you told me to do: now i try $HOST, $SOURCEIP and $SOURCE_IP for the destination folder, but nothing works!

Take a look at my config, please:

# Syslog-ng configuration.
#
# what the default options are for files that it writes
#

options { sync(0); time_reopen(10); log_fifo_size(100); };

source src {
        unix-stream("/dev/log");
        internal();
        udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514));
};

filter f_messages { facility(local7); };
filter f_bootlog { facility(local7); };
filter f_authlog { facility(local7); };
#i know that this filter config doesn´t make sense; its only for testing purposes!

destination messages {
   file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$SOURCE_IP/messages"
         sync(0) log_fifo_size(10) create_dirs(yes)
         owner(root) group(system) perm(0660) dir_perm(0770));
};

destination bootlog {
   file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$SOURCEIP/boot.log"
         sync(0) log_fifo_size(10) create_dirs(yes)
         owner(root) group(system) perm(0660) dir_perm(0770));
};

destination authlog {
   file("/var/log/syslog-ng/$HOST/secure.log"
         sync(0) log_fifo_size(10) create_dirs(yes)
         owner(root) group(system) perm(0660) dir_perm(0770));
};
log { source(src);
      filter(f_messages);
      destination(messages);
};
log { source(src);
      filter(f_bootlog);
      destination(bootlog);
};
log { source(src);
      filter(f_authlog);
      destination(authlog);
};

The results of this config:

destination messages (with $SOURCE_IP in the pathname) writes the file "messages" to  "/var/log/syslog-ng/messages"

destination bootlog (with $SOURCEIP in the pathname) writes the file "boot.log" to  "/var/log/syslog-ng/boot.log"

destination authlog (with $HOST in the pathname) works fine for Cisco network components! e.g. the logfile is stored in "/var/log/syslog-ng/10.146.18.3".Well!!! As i wrote in an earlier mail it don´t work with enterasys/cabletron stuff. They build folders like this:

/var/log/syslog-ng # ll
total 79
drwxr-x---    2 root     root           72 Jul  9 17:56 %CLI-E-FACUNKNWN,
drwxr-x---    2 root     root           72 Jul 13 20:16 %CLI-E-INCMPCMD,
drwxr-x---    2 root     root           72 Jul  9 19:05 %CLI-W-MODNOTFOUND,
drwxr-x---    2 root     root           72 Jul 17 07:38 %CONFIG-E-SEARCH,
drwxr-x---    2 root     root           72 Jul 14 00:23 %CONFIG-I-NOCHANGES,

At least please take a look at the Syslogmessages sent by different network components!
The Enterasys/Cabletron components send messages like this:

Jul 17 09:10:48 %STP-I-PORT_STATUS,/10.146.12.16 Port status change detected: et.1.7 - Port Down

The Cisco´s use another formatting:

Jul 18 09:31:02 10.146.18.3/10.146.18.3 5392: 3w2d: %AMDP2_FE-5-EXCESSCOLL: Ethernet1/0 TDR=2, TRC=0

Could this cause the problem?? What can I do?? (perhaps some important information: i am using syslog-ng version 1.4.14)

Thank you in advance

Are you sure you have reloaded the configuration?

SOURCE_IP always inserts IP addresses, as the following snippet shows:

        case M_SOURCE_IP: {
                char *ip;
               
                if (msg->saddr) {
                        CAST(inet_address_info, addr, msg->saddr);
               
                        ip = inet_ntoa(addr->sa.sin_addr);
                }
                else {
                        ip = "127.0.0.1";
                }
                length = append_string(dest, left, ip, strlen(ip), escape);
                break;
        }
