[syslog-ng] create_dir and "dynamic" destinations.

[Jim Hendrick]

I would check doing a manual mkdir -p </some/long/path> as the user specified in the config.
Then try as root if different.
Also look at how that file system is mounted. Is it local disk or NFS ?
NFS treats root differently.
Also I have seen the permissions of the underlying mount point also cause problems. That is rwxr-x--- for the directory on which the NFS is mounted can cause problems for the mounted filesystem.  And you won't see it unless you unmount the NFS piece.
Anyway that's what I can think of right off.

Permissions problem? Is anything  reported in syslog-ng’s own logs?

I use this same config and work very well.

Hmm it should create the entire path.

Yes, I have the create-dies() option enabled but that does not seem to work for upper level directories.

Example:

Only works if the 192_168_9_0 directory is pre-created.
        destination d_192_168_9_0 { file(/opt/syslog-ng/logs/192_168_9_0/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST.log);};
