Hey Scot, Have your read the FAQ? http://campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html There's a relevant section to what you were asking to achieve, just search for " *Directories with names like "Error", "SCSI", "", are showing up in the directory that holds the syslogs for the different hosts that we monitor. * " I know the title doesn't seem relevant but the response in that sections is what I used to setup exactly what you were asking, hope that helps.

I would check doing a manual mkdir -p </some/long/path> as the user specified in the config. Then try as root if different. Also look at how that file system is mounted. Is it local disk or NFS ? NFS treats root differently. Also I have seen the permissions of the underlying mount point also cause problems. That is rwxr-x--- for the directory on which the NFS is mounted can cause problems for the mounted filesystem. And you won't see it unless you unmount the NFS piece. Anyway that's what I can think of right off. Jim

Permissions problem? Is anything reported in syslog-ng’s own logs?

I use this same config and work very well.

Hmm it should create the entire path.

Yes, I have the create-dies() option enabled but that does not seem to work for upper level directories.
Example:
Only works if the 192_168_9_0 directory is pre-created. destination d_192_168_9_0 { file(/opt/syslog-ng/logs/192_168_9_0/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST.log);};

Hi Scot,
You have the `create-dirs()` option for that:
