[syslog-ng] How to syslog-ng execute shell script

[Attila Szakacs (aszakacs)]

Hi William,

Yes it is possible:
program source: https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.24/administration-guide/23#TOPIC-1297952
program destination: https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.24/administration-guide/43#TOPIC-1298032
hook-commands (for all sources and drivers with a few exceptions): https://www.syslog-ng.com/technical-documents/doc/syslog-ng-open-source-edition/3.24/administration-guide/hook-commands

Is one of these actions suitable for you? What is the exact use case, when are you intending to run the script?

Regards,
Attila

Hello People,

How to configure the syslog-ng.conf file, to call a shell script, for example to do zip file.

It is possible to do this?
