hello,

i've configure successfuly the syslog-ng server to save logs on mysql 4.0 and i would like it to store the logs (just for a test) on a text file (example.txt), so i was searching aroun and found that i should add the followin line to syslog-ng.conf:

destination file_text{ file("/var/log/example.txt"); };

i don't want to mess anything and i was wondering if it's ok or if anybody has set this before, i don't want it to stop saving it on mysql i just want syslog-ng to save in both (mysql and example.txt) at the same time...

thanx for the help...

yes, i have this setup. here is the examples from my conf with the plaintext section: destination hosts { file("/var/log/syslogs/$HOST.$FACILITY" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)); }; log { source(client_tcp); destination(hosts); }; log { source(client_udp); destination(hosts); };
