the template() function applies to file destination too in syslog-ng 1.6. ( and if i'm not wrong it applies to all destination now even udp() and tcp() )

I cannot remember when syslog-ng starts to apply template function to file but there is a patch for 1.5.20.

Thanks, I was on syslog-ng 1.5.26. I am now upgraded to 1.6.0rc4 and it works great. _________________________________________________________________ Crave some Miles Davis or Grateful Dead?
