[syslog-ng] Issues with sql driver

[N. Max Pierson]

Hi List,

I have 2 questions about the sql driver. First, I am trying to get messages
into sql using the sql driver but I get an error when I try and restart
syslog-ng when I enable the log statement with the sql destination. The
syslog-ng --syntax-only command runs without any issues but systemd throws
and error that it cannot restart the service but doesn't give a clear
reason. My config is below, doesn't anyone know where in a log I can see
why it won't restart??

source s_network { udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); };

destination d_mysql {
    sql(type(mysql)
    host("127.0.0.1")
    username("syslog-ng")
    password("password")
    database("syslog")
    table("messages_${HOST}")
    columns("date", "host", "message")
    values("${R_DATE}", "${HOST}", "${MESSAGE}")
    indexes("date", "host") );
};

log { source(s_network); destination(d_mysql); };


My second question is can you use a template with the sql destination
driver? I need to reformat some Cisco Nexus logs because of how it formats
the date (looks to be non RFC compliant) and if so, can someone give me a
sample of config with the template in the sql destination driver? I cannot
seem to find in the docs if this is even possible much less and example of
how to do it.

TIA,
Max
