Dear friends Is there any update please, The Idea that I want to filter the logs that comes from the server 172.31.250.68 to send it by email, that's the purpose of this configuration I did. (note) the path " /var/log/syslog-ng/servers/172.31.250.68/local7.log" is the path of the log file for this server in the my syslog-ng machine, I tried to add more options to the destination line like the following: destination maillog { program("/usr/local/bin/syslog-mail-perl" flush_lines(1) flush_timeout(30)); }; But the problem still exist Please if anyone have a solution for this Or any other solution or guide lines please tell me.
