Hello List,
How can i fix this? I am running postgresql-8.1 with Debian 4.0.
Probably the syslog client sends non-utf8 characters in its message. syslog-ng 2.0 and 2.1 do not really care about the message contents.
3.0 has support for various encodings and utf8 validation like this:
This assumes that the input is latin1:
source s_net { udp(encoding("iso-8859-1")); };
And this one enforces valid utf8 messages
source s_net { udp(flags(validate-utf8)); };
I was planning to add another flag, but this is not yet implemented:
source s_net { udp(flags(force-utf8)); };
Which would enforce valid utf8 sequences by changing the input.
As an alternative don't use utf8 as the character encoding of your database, use latin1, that'll permit any kind of data in the database.
syslog-ng -F -v -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf -e Configuration file has no version number, assuming syslog-ng 2.1 format. Please add @version: maj.min to the beginning of the file; WARNING: global: the default value of chain_hostnames is changing to 'no' in version 3.0, please update your configuration accordingly; Your configuration file uses an obsoleted keyword, please update your configuration; keyword='sync', change='flush_lines' Your configuration file uses an obsoleted keyword, please update your configuration; keyword='stats', change='stats_freq' WARNING: input: sources do not remove new-line characters from messages by default in version 3.0, please add 'no-multi-line' flag to your configuration if you want to retain this functionality; WARNING: file source: default value of follow_freq in file sources is changing in 3.0 to '1' for all files except /proc/kmsg; syntax error in /etc/syslog-ng.conf at line 14.
Line 14 and 15 look like this: ------------------------------------------------------------- source s_net { udp(encoding("iso-8859-1")); }; source s_net { udp(flags(validate-utf8)); };
I also tried to add: @version: 2.9 to the config file, but this did not work.
Any idea?
Thanks, Mario
