Hi all - Not sure what changed, but I rebuilt the latest syslog-ng - used the same syslog-ng.conf file (ignored the version warnings) and the HINCRBY command now works. Here are the particulars: [root@VDDP13E-F1A47ED n0142566]# /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng --version syslog-ng 3.6.0alpha2 Installer-Version: 3.6.0alpha2 Revision: Compile-Date: Aug 12 2014 13:36:07 Available-Modules: afsocket-notls,afprog,csvparser,system-source,dbparser,redis,syslogformat,afuser,afstomp,afmongodb,linux-kmsg-format,json-plugin,basicfuncs,pseudofile,afamqp,affile,cryptofuncs,afsocket,confgen Enable-Debug: off Enable-GProf: off Enable-Memtrace: off Enable-IPv6: on Enable-Spoof-Source: off Enable-TCP-Wrapper: off Enable-Linux-Caps: off Thanks, Jim ---- jrhendri@roadrunner.com wrote:

Hi (again) -

This one has me a bit puzzled. I am trying to write to redis using the example from the syslog-ng documentation:

destination d_local_redis { redis(command("HINCRBY" "${HOST}/programs" "${PROGRAM}" "1")); };

but I am getting "-ERR value is not an integer or out of range"

I have tried this on a couple systems. This particular one is:

[n0142566@VDDP13E-F1A47ED src]$ /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng --version syslog-ng 3.5.4.1 Installer-Version: 3.5.4.1 Revision: Compile-Date: Jul 22 2014 12:30:06 Available-Modules: afsocket-notls,afprog,csvparser,system-source,dbparser,redis,syslogformat,afuser,afstomp,afmongodb,linux-kmsg-format,json-plugin,basicfuncs,afamqp,affile,cryptofuncs,afsocket,confgen Enable-Debug: off Enable-GProf: off Enable-Memtrace: off Enable-IPv6: on Enable-Spoof-Source: off Enable-TCP-Wrapper: off Enable-Linux-Caps: off Enable-Pcre: off [n0142566@VDDP13E-F1A47ED src]$

And I have captured the packets to see what is being sent and see this following the TCP stream with Wireshark (pcap attached)

*1 $4 ping +PONG *4 $7 HINCRBY $24 VDDP13E-F1A47ED/programs $16 ArcSightLogs_PDC $2 * -ERR value is not an integer or out of range

Note: when I use ("INCR" "testkey") it works - seems like the integer increment is not being sent correctly?

Is this something I am getting wrong or is it a bug ?

Thanks (again)

Jim
