[syslog-ng] [EXTERNAL] Re: Help with embedded log paths

[Faine, Mark R. (MSFC-IS40)[NICS]]

Thank!  That's essentially what I ended up doing.

I need some sort of unique identifier that I can put on the file name in a destination that is static and not tied to the message or anything else that changes.  It should be created when the file is created and not changed.

I've looked over the macros but I don't see anything, does something like this exist?

Thanks,
-Mark

Hi Mark,

Seeing your two recent messages, I think you'd be better off
converting your embedded logpath config to a conditional based one (with
if-else), like
described here:

It's a much easier way to understannd what's happening, compared to the
"legacy" way of doing with flags(final) etc.
