Reposting in its own thread: I'm using a pipe source, and would like to make it optional, however the optional(yes) parameter seems to be considered a syntax error. Here's the entry: source test { pipe("/tmp/test_fifo" optional(yes) flags(no-parse) log_msg_size(1024)); }; Am I doing this incorrectly? This line is considered a syntax error by syslog-ng 2.0.9. -Clay -- Killersoft.com
