You misspelled the FACILITY macro, so there's a null filename. On Tue, Jan 27, 2004 at 06:52:52PM -0500, Andrews, Glenn J (Glenn) wrote:

Now for some reason I am getting these messages in /var/log/syslog Jan 27 18:31:34 ma106068-nm01 syslog-ng[2603]: Cannot open file /var/log/HOSTS/10.140.20.12/20040127/ for writing (Is a directory)

I have deleted the entire tree from HOSTS on down and killed and restarted syslog-ng. But I still get this error.

This is my destination line in syslog-ng.conf destination hosts { file("/var/log/HOSTS/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH$DAY/$FACILTY" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)); };

and options...

options { sync (0); perm (0644); time_reopen (10); log_fifo_size (1000); long_hostnames (off); use_dns (no); use_fqdn (no); create_dirs (no); keep_hostname (no); };
