[syslog-ng] Creating a named pipe (FIFO)

[Timothy A. Holmes]

Good morning Peter:

thank you for your reply

Does the name of the named pipe need to be the same as the destination line

mkfifo splunk;
destination splunk {
        pipe("/var/syslog-ng/syslog_fifo");
};

This is what I currently have in the config file now, and I am still getting an error.

Thank you 


TIM
