[syslog-ng] Problem with syslog-ng version 2

[Alarie, Maxime]

Thanks for the update guys.

I know the version is  old,  problem is I cannot update it since it’s a black box and we would lose support from EMC.  Ill see what I can do.

Well, older syslog-ng versions probably folowed the file as it was written, and if only  a partial line was present, it was assumed to be the entire message.
Maybe the application is writing that file one-character at a time?
But I agree with Peter, 2.0.9 is probably a decade old, so in order to properly support your problems, you should definitely upgrade to something newer.

Hi,
syslog-ng is configured to read from a application log file and then send it to another file in /var/log (tcpdump is not installed, I cant install it on a blackbox so this is how I test my config)
I have the following in my syslog-ng configuration file:
source ESRS {
file("/opt/esrsve/gateway/xGate.log");
};

destination esrsfile{ file("/var/log/max.log" );};



log { source(ESRS);
destination(esrsfile);
};
The problem I am seeing is that when syslog writes to the outputfile (esrsfile) it truncatedthe lines.
ex: Source File : [ 0, 6, 1, 1007] 08-29-2016 13:56:28.703 IMPORTANT INFO EDDEMC: Data Item::PMStatus Current Value::Offline
And the destination file looiks like this:
... ...
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname C
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname u
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname r
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname r
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname e
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname n
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname t
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname V
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname a
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname l
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname u
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname e
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname :
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname :
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname O
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname f
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname f
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname l
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname i
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname n
Aug 29 14:00:02 hostname e
... ...
What am I doing wrong here?


Thanks much!
