[syslog-ng]Template configuration problem

[Paul Mansmann]

Try this:

		destination test {
		        file("test"
		                template("$ISODATE $HOST $MSG);\n"
		                template_escape(yes)
		        );
		};

I don't guarantee this will work.  If it doesn't I recommend playing around a bit with the placement of the semicolon and
parentheses.  I had a similar issue with a template function I was trying to use and had to try a few different syntax variations
before I could make NG happy.

		Hi,

		I am having serious trouble with templates. This is what I have in my
		syslog-ng.conf

		destination test {
		        file ("test"
		                template("$ISODATE $HOST $MSG\n")
		                template_escape(yes)
		        );
		};

		I always get a parse error in the 

		                template("$ISODATE $HOST $MSG\n")

		line. I am running the FreeBSD port of syslog-ng version 1.6.0rc1.

		What is the problem? I have these options set:

		options { long_hostnames(on);
		          sync(0);
		          use_time_recvd(yes);
		          use_dns(yes);
		          keep_hostname(no);
		          chain_hostnames(no);
		          use_fqdn(yes);
		          gc_busy_threshold(768);
		          time_reap(12);
		          time_reopen(10);
		          create_dirs(yes);
		        };


		Thanks,
		  JP
