[syslog-ng] afsql error

[Jason Kojro-Badziak]

Hello:

When I ran the --version command you specify, I am not getting the results as you mentioned.  I am only being shown that I have version 2.1.4 installed.

# /sbin/syslog-ng --version
syslog-ng 2.1.4

I apologize, but can you please show me how I can install the afsql module?  While I am not using a SQL destination right now, we do plan on using one and I will need the module installed.

Thank you!

If you're not using an SQL destination, and don't need it, you can add --default-modules=affile,afprog,afsocket,afuser,basicfuncs,csvparser,dbparser,syslogformat
to the commandline in the init script, and it will stop warning about afsql. Mind you, this is only a warning - syslog-ng will function just fine despite the perhaps scary warning at startup.

(You can get the compiled-in default by running syslog-ng --version, and looking at the Default-Modules line - remove afsql from there, and pass the rest via --default-modules)

If you do want to use an SQL destination, then you will need that module. I do not know what package it is in, possibly something like syslog-ng-module-sql or something similar.
