[syslog-ng] Backslash before quote

[Pennington, Philip]

Bazsi,


Ok thanks, I think that does look like what I need.   I assume you meant
template_escape(no)  (underscore not hyphen).

I've tried a bit of experimentation and for some reason I can't seem to
get it to drop the backslashes

Is it correct to say this is required on the first and every "tcp"
destination syslog relay in a chain as well as the final "file"
destination?  (I was trying with relays).

The admin guide does suggest that template_escape is a common option for
every destination (presumably including tcp), are you aware of any known
issues with this on version 2.0.5 ? 


Regards


Philip

you probably need template-escape(no)

this is the default setting starting from 3.0 and was introduced to
avoid SQL injections if using templates to format SQL INSERT statements.

since that use is replaced by the native SQL destination, the default
was changed with 3.0.
