According to the docs/faq, I should be able to do this:
destination d_gb { file("/log/gb/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
owner(log) group(log)); };
But when starting, I get:
Starting syslog-ng: parse error at 51
Parse error reading configuration file, exiting. (line 51)
What am I missing?
Hi,

Try putting the user and group in quotes, like this:

- - -
destination d_gb {
    file("/log/gb/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY"
        owner("log")
        group("log")
        );
    };
- - -

Hope This Helps!

(This should probably be documented somewhere... At least there
shouldn't be a non-working example of using group/owner-directives in
the FAQ.)
