have
linux-test1:~ #



 i have to tape ctrl +c to get access to it


here is the script

 
#!/bin/bash

if [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]; then

     while [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]

     do

         mysql -u root --password= syslog< /tmp/mysql.pipe

     done

else

     mkfifo /tmp/mysql.pipe

fi

i think the problem is from

 mysql -u root --password= syslog< /tmp/mysql.pipe

hi

i am configuring a centralised syslog server and when i arrived to the writing into the database there is some thing wrong

because when i use a file as destination i see incoming logs when i restart apache2 or mysql in the client

"tail - f /"
i use syslog -ng 2.0

here is the client
source my_src{
file("/var/log/apache2/error_log" follow_freq(1)  );

file("/var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log" follow_freq(1) );

};


destination loghost {
    tcp("192.168.1.69" port(514));
};
log {
   source(my_src);
  destination(loghost);
};



here is the server

 source mysrc{ tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) keep-alive(yes));
#udp();
 };

destination d_mysql {
  pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe"
  template("INSERT INTO logs (host, facility, priority, level, tag, date,
  time, program, msg) VALUES ( '$HOST', '$FACILITY', '$PRIORITY', '$LEVEL',
  '$TAG',
  '$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY', '$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC', '$PROGRAM', '$MSG' );\n")
  template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(mysrc); destination(d_mysql);
};


note that a databes names syslog is already created and contain a table logs;



if itry the following command : syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf

Error binding socket; addr='AF_INET(0.0.0.0:514)', error='Address already in use (98)'
Error initializing source driver; source='mysrc'


ps i used to use the server as relai and send by udp using the same port 514 but now everinthing is

commented   like this #

need help

i added the following script to the file
