Need help with having Syslog-ng import a log file into Syslog-ng. I have a proxy server that will not syslog but will log to a file than can ftp of the server. I am wondering how I can take the ftped file and send it to the Syslog-ng so It can be sysloged to our database server for review? Any help would be great? Thanks.

syslog-ng 2.0.x can follow files like this, using the file source and the follow_freq option. However it'll currently lose current position across restarts, that still needs to be fixed. If you are interested in testing this feature, I might move the priority of this change higher in my head :) -- Bazsi
