Hi Balázs, Thanks for the answer. But, My question is: It is possible to include a external python script. e.g: $ cat foobar.conf: python { @include "caipirinha.py" } template-function foobar "$(python foobar)" $ cat caipirinha.py from foobar import foobar_template_function # my python class/code is separated ........... $ got it? maybe using the "confgen" module? -- Jorge Pereira On Mon, Mar 20, 2017 at 2:35 AM, Scheidler, Balázs < balazs.scheidler@balabit.com> wrote:
Hi,
The example Python code should be unindented, or you see a different error?
Also, you can always import code in the python block.
With destinations you can specify a path to a python file, so the python block is not needed. But with template functions I've figured the $(python) call would be too crowded if we were passing explicit filename parameters.
But you can encapsulate the python code as well as a wrapper to the python code into a separate file.
Foobar.conf:
python {
from foobar import foobar_template_function
}
template-function foobar "$(python foobar)"
----------
Then you can use:
@include "Foobar.conf"
... template("$(foobar)"); ...
Unfortunately then template function declarations cant take parameters yet from the callsite, which may be a serious limitation in your use-case. But with a conceot above you can completely hide implementation details your actual config.

Well, based on this[1] document. We should use the *python {}* statement. But, I would like to keep my python script externally in a separated file and do something like.
python filter_001 { /my/script/python001.py }
log { .... filter(filter_001); .... };
p.s: Btw, this sample https://www.balabit.com /documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.7-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide- admin/html-single/index.html#example-python-template-functions don't work in the syslog-ng 3.9.1
