[syslog-ng]syslog-ng

[Michael Earls]

The reason I want it to log to a database is that I have over 100
routers and switches in different cities, I want a central Syslog
server, I want all of techs in each city to be able to view the Syslog
messages from a web browser anywhere.  The only way I know to do this is
have Syslog log to some database then have php/perl search from the web.
 
 
What is the best way for me to do this with Syslog-ng?  
 
thanks

	I don't understand what the problems with using an external
program for such 
purpose are. Simply write a 10 line long perl script where you can even 
preprocess messages before they go to the database, and feed this script

with a pipe/program destination. 

	Adding support for pgsql/mysql/sybase/whatever into syslog ng is
bloat in my 
opinion.
