[syslog-ng] Problem with source File and destination File

[Robert.Becker at motoristsgroup.com]

You cannot use a growing log file as a source for syslog-ng. You must tail
that log file to a pipe and have syslog read the pipe.  Not the prettiest
solution, but to my knowledge the only way to make it work.

Hello,

I wrote for testing a small shell script witch put every second a line with
the same information into a file called "imperator.log".

I would like to take the file thrue syslog-ng and write it into a
destination file but it did not work ... has somebody a hint ?

This is my configfile :

 options {
    sync (256);
    time_reopen (10);
    log_fifo_size (4096);
    long_hostnames (off);
    use_dns (no);
    use_fqdn (no);
    create_dirs (no);
    keep_hostname (yes);
};

source s_test {
    file ("/tmp/imperator.log");
    internal();
};

destination d_test { file("/var/tmp/testreceive.log"); };
destination d_msg  { file("/tmp/$HOST-messages-$MONTH-$YEAR"
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes));
};


#log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter1); destination(d_cons); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter2); destination(d_mesg); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter3); destination(d_auth); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter4); destination(d_mail); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter5); destination(d_mlal); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter6); destination(d_spol); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter7); destination(d_boot); };
# log { source(s_sys); filter(f_filter8); destination(d_cron); };
log { source(s_test); destination(d_msg); };


Thx Daniel
