[syslog-ng] Get host IP inside source { file ( ); } driver

[Tech Support]

Hello;

    I use this and it works fine for me.

 

destination d_remotehosts {

    file( "/var/log/hosts/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" perm( 0644 ) create_dirs( yes ) dir_perm( 0755 ) );

};

 

Regards;

John

Hi,

 

I want to read a file which is in the name of the IP of syslog-ng client machine

I tried with $HOST macro 

 

source { file (/mnt/$HOST); };

 

But this does not work

Any help on doing this ?
