Greetings, I am trying to accomplish something and am requiring some assistance. I have custom logs that write needed output to this directory: /production/server/20070822/xxxx.log This log file rotates every day so the next date will be 20070823 and so on. How can I direct a custom destination file to log remotely that log file to the central server and have it pick it up everyday? So for example . . . I have a central syslog server that writes all its input to /remote/logs/<date>/<HOST> On the server sending the remote logs I have this parameter: destination { file("/production/server/$YYYY$MM$DD/xxxx.log"); }; For some reason I think its not working properly due to the $DATE variables, I tried also using % to no avail. All the necessary logs do log remotely as I wish them to. Is this the proper way to configure this scenario? What I want to do is log the custom logging @ xxxx.log to the correct server $hostname on the central server This would be the idea: Custom.log -> local syslog-ng -> central-syslog-ng -> /remote/logs/<date>/<HOST> I am currently logging all the servers logging locally and remotely, but I cannot get syslog-ng to log that custome log file to the remote server. I hope this makes sense! Thanks. Regards, Corey M.
