What is the expected file format used for loggen?<div>i.e: which tokens should each line consist of?</div><div><br><div><br></div><div>From the docs:</div><div><a href="http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.3-guides/syslog-ng-ose-v3.3-guide-admin-en.html/loggen.1.html">http://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-3.3-guides/syslog-ng-ose-v3.3-guide-admin-en.html/loggen.1.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;d like to pump a bunch of messages (other than PADPADPAD) through loggen to generate tests.</div><div>But it doesn&#39;t say anything about what format to use. </div><div>I&#39;ve tried using just a text file with a message per line, but I get Invalid line X for some messages an not others.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Am I just misunderstanding what this command line option is for?</div><div><br></div><div>Sample Messages:</div><div><div>2012-11-27 08:48:29     16.22.1.42   %SYS-3-CPUHOG: the CPU is hogged</div><div>
2012-11-27 08:48:29     16.22.2.42   %IR-6-INSCARD: Card inserted in slot 0, interfaces administratively shut down</div><div>2012-11-27 08:48:29     16.22.2.42   %OIR-6-REMCARD: Card removed from slot 0, interfaces disabled</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>So it seem I should be able to use:</div><div>loggen --size 300 --rate 6000 --interval 600 192.168.28.29 514 -R ./myfile.txt</div><div><br></div><div>but then only some lines work and some don&#39;t. Sometimes the host comes in on the receiving server as an invalid IP.</div>
<div>Is there a way to specify tokens, like f1=datetime -f2=host -f3=PRI -f4=msg.</div><div>Would really be nice if we could also specify the delimiter between them, like:</div><div>f1=datetime -f2=host -f3=PRI -f4=msg  --delim=\t</div>
