[syslog-ng] syslog-ng redis destination problem

[jrhendri at roadrunner.com]

Hi (again) -

  This one has me a bit puzzled. I am trying to write to redis using the example from the syslog-ng documentation:

destination d_local_redis {
 redis(command("HINCRBY" "${HOST}/programs" "${PROGRAM}" "1"));
};

but I am getting "-ERR value is not an integer or out of range"

I have tried this on a couple systems. This particular one is:

[n0142566 at VDDP13E-F1A47ED src]$ /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng --version
syslog-ng 3.5.4.1
Installer-Version: 3.5.4.1

Enable-Spoof-Source: off
Enable-TCP-Wrapper: off
Enable-Linux-Caps: off
Enable-Pcre: off
[n0142566 at VDDP13E-F1A47ED src]$ 

And I have captured the packets to see what is being sent and see this following the TCP stream with Wireshark
(pcap attached)

*1
$4
ping
+PONG
*4
$7
HINCRBY
$24
VDDP13E-F1A47ED/programs
$16
ArcSightLogs_PDC
$2
 *
-ERR value is not an integer or out of range

Note: when I use ("INCR" "testkey") it works - seems like the integer increment is not being sent correctly?

Is this something I am getting wrong or is it a bug ?

Thanks (again)

Jim
