Hello Bazsi U were right , the template itself had line breaking. So i fixed that part. I no longer get the syntax error. But now with the script im using to read the pipe, seems it is not inserting any records, i get the following on screen +---------------------------------------+ | Connected! | | | | sql-statement | | help [tablename] | | quit | | | +---------------------------------------+ And it stays there... Script is as follows if [ -e /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe ]; then while [ -e /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe ] do isql -v MSTEST "sa" "pwd" </tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe done else mkfifo /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe fi pipe displays the following when i do a cat INSERT INTO logs(datetime,host,program,pid,message)VALUES('Jul 16 10:25:48','syslogng','agetty','2959','/dev/xvc0: No such file or directory'); INSERT INTO logs(datetime,host,program,pid,message)VALUES('Jul 16 10:25:58','syslogng','agetty','2960','/dev/xvc0: No such file or directory'); INSERT INTO logs(datetime,host,program,pid,message)VALUES('Jul 16 10:26:08','syslogng','agetty','2961','/dev/xvc0: No such file or directory'); INSERT INTO logs(datetime,host,program,pid,message)VALUES('Jul 16 10:26:18','syslogng','init','','Id \"x0\" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes'); -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Khaleelah Peerbocus Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 9:41 AM To: 'Syslog-ng users' and developers' mailing list' Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] Pipe() in syslog-ng ---- HELP Attached is syslog-ng.conf and the script I run.

By embedded new line character you mean "\n"?
It is at the end of the query
destination d_mssql { pipe("/tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe" template("INSERT INTO
logs(datetime,host,program,pid,message)VALUES('$R_DATE','$HOST','$PROGRAM','
$PID','$MSGONLY');\n") template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(src); filter(f_debug); destination(d_mssql); };
Even if I remove the \n ..it does not work.. it gives the same output..
No, I mean continuing the template string in a new line in your text editor. -- Bazsi ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
