do the logs always specify the name of the program that is logging? If so use 3 regex filters and 3 separate destinations, then use log statements to filter each program name to each destination. See the manual for how to do filters, destinations and logs if you are unsure of the syntax. eg. programname1: the program has done something worth logging programname2: this program is starting up These can be filtered by the actual log content themselves by using match("programname1:"); inside a filter{}; and then using the filter inside a log{}; statement with a separate destination{}; for the log statement so that only logs matching the filter are sent to that destination. If the program doesn't give it's own name in the log then what kind of program is that! eg "hello this is a log to tell you an error has occurred, but you will have to get which program on the whole OS generated it." -h Hari Sekhon jawed abbasi wrote:
Hi Hari
they are 3 diffferent programs, so here is the naming convention
AP-CC-AXXXX
AP= process type cc= company code A= technology type xxxx = host number
So on host XXXX
there 6 process running which Always have AP same cc different A same xxxx same
So the only way I can differentiate them is by CC which is unique to all processes.
Thanks

you need a way to differential between the 3 processes. Are they three instances of the same program or different programs? It would help if you could give us an example of the logs.

Thanks Kalin
But problem is I can't modify the behaviour of the application ( application which I called a process), its almost impossible, because code is not available to me. but because each process or application runs under different name, that might help me if its possible to go with regex filtering.
thanks

Generally, all processes in a OS can obtain their PID from the OS by invoking some function (e.g. `echo $$` in bash).
The processes A,a,b above have to be modified to perpend their PID in their log output. For example, an excerpt from my logs:
Jan 16 12:30:00 oss fcron[29796]: Job /usr/bin/test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons started for user root (pid 29797) Jan 16 12:40:00 oss fcron[29941]: Job /usr/bin/test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons started for user root (pid 29942)
Note the end of the lines. You can filter things like that based on the "\(pid (\d+)\)" regex if I am not wrong in the syntax.
That is it.

All the best,
Kalin.
