[syslog-ng] Add prefix Or suffix inside of FileName

[William Luiz Ribeiro Vasconcelos Da Silva]

Hi Attila,

We need to put a suffix at the end of the file, as we have an external system that during syslog-ng processing will collect these files. And we find that syslog-ng is not putting a ".tmp" at the end of the file. Which in our case would be very important not to have problems.

Our concern is that syslog-ng is generating the file and another external application collects the file while processing syslog-ng, causing a problem for both applications.

I would like syslog-ng during file generation to put a ".tmp" at the end of the file name and when the file generation is finished replace ".tmp" with ".log".

Regards,
William Luiz

Hi William,

Where do you want to insert the suffix? Filename, log line, name-value pair, etc..?
What kind of suffix is needed? Some static string, or a dynamically changing string?

Regards,
Attila

Hello everyone,

It is possible during syslog-ng processing to insert a suffix, as we have a system that will collect these files.

And if we keep the same suffix, we have a big problem inside of prodction enviroment.

Here's an example of how the file generation part:

destination d_model {
    file("/syslog_out/udp_files/${HOST}_${YEAR}${MONTH}${DAY}${HOUR}${MIN}_GMT${TZ}.log"
         template("${PROGRAM};${MESSAGE};\n")
         owner(syslog)
         group(syslog)
         perm (0755)
    );
};
