Re: [syslog-ng]What's wrong with my syntax?

Here is an example from the docs: destination d_file { file("/var/log/$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY/messages" template("$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $TZ $HOST [$LEVEL] $MSG $MSG\n") template_escape(no) ); }; try change the file, then try morph towards what you had (the newline i.e. \n might be significant). /Allan -- Allan Wind P.O.
