Open source versions of syslog-ng with sql() destination
Hi -- Just upgraded to a new server (CentOS 5) and the yum installed version of syslog-ng (2.1.4) is gagging on the previous version of syslog-ng.conf, which was working fine for syslog-ng (1.6.12). I commented out a couple of lines like @version and file() but find I can't get past sql(). The documentation says that for versions 2.x, sql() is only available for Premium version. Just want to verify that I will have to roll back to the old 1.6.12 version to have the sql() feature, which we are using quite a bit. Is that version still available? Thanks, Liam -- Liam Kirsher PGP: http://liam.numenet.com/pgp/

[...] Are you sure that you used version 1.6.X The version clause appeared in version 3.0 And the sql destination too. I think that you downgraded. And I'm sure that in version 3.2 the sql destination is in the free version too. -- SZALAY Attila Support (L3) Team Leader e-mail: attila.szalay@balabit.com BalaBit IT Security www.balabit.com H-1115 Bártfai str. 54.

The sql destination was released as open source in version 2.1, but it is recommended to use a later version (3.0 or preferably 3.1). @version appeared only in 3.0 Regards, Robert
Robert, Attila, I realize now what happened, and yes I must have been using a more recent version. It's a long story. But that's great news, I'll install 3.1. Liam Fekete Robert wrote:

You seem to be confused somewhat. The SQL destination has become available in syslog-ng OSE 2.1 & PE 2.1, however the CentOS binary may not have it included. (some distributions didn't enable this). -- Bazsi
