[syslog-ng] Send a specific log by email

[Siem Korteweg]

Hi Reaky,

define a new source with your specific IP and define a destination using
"program" in stead of "file" (http://www.campin.net/newlogcheck.html "Email
certain logs"). Finally you combine both in a new log-definition.

Hi friends
         I have syslog-ng installed in RHEL5 server, I make it as CEntral log
for all servers in my network, Filtered by IP
Now What I want to do is make it send to me an email for a specific log for
one of my server, In other word when any log sent from this IP (192.168.1.1 )
For example to send me email with this new log value to myemail at mydomain.com
The following is the part of configuration for my syslog-ng.conf that related
with remote servers.
=============================================

source s_remote {
        tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
        udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
};

destination d_separatedbyhosts {
        file("/var/log/syslog-ng/servers/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" owner("root")
group("root") perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes));
};

log { source(s_remote); destination(d_separatedbyhosts); };
===============================================

Thanks 
Best Regards
Reaky
