[syslog-ng]Match macro in filename?

[Vaibhav Goel]

Actually my bad...it does work...in fact writes 1 line of log entry but
then no more.  The script exits after that one entry (ie not running
like my "cat" test in the background)...

Thanks Nate.

I am using (trying to) an alternate approach now...I am going to write a
perl script that gets everything from STDIN and parses the log data,
does some regexp matching and writes out the logs based on that....check
this simple script (which does not wanna work):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


my $input =3D <STDIN> ;
if ($input =3D~ /xyz/)
{
   $var =3D "xyz.log";
   open(LOG, ">>/tmp/$var");
   print LOG "$input";
   close(LOG);
}

This does not seem to want to work using syslog-ng (it works fine from
the commandline though),...any ideas anyone?

Good news on the feature in the 1.9 branch!

As for using 1.6.5, someone else just brought this up the other day, see
this thread:
