Sending emails via syslog-ng

reaky join:2004-01-18 Killeen, TX	reply to reaky Re: Sending emails via syslog-ng Dear SirMeowmix_III I tried the configuration like you sent as the following: #================================================================= # Remote logging source src { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; destination maillog { program("/syslog_fifos/host_fifo" flush_lines(1)); }; filter f_host { match("172.31.250.68"); }; log {source(src); filter(f_host); destination(maillog); }; #================================================================== But when I restart It gave me the following note : WARNING: the match() filter without the use of the value() option is deprecated and hinders performance, please update your configuration;

reaky join:2004-01-18 Killeen, TX 3 edits	reply to reaky Dear SirMeowmix_III I take some of your Idea and modified it, and use the following ======================================================= source sme {file (/var/log/syslog-ng/servers/172.31.250.68/local7.log); }; destination maillog { program ("/usr/local/bin/syslog-mail-perl" ); log {source(sme); destination(maillog); }; ======================================================= And the perl script like the following: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++= #!/usr/bin/perl -n # thanks to Brian Dowling for an example with security in mind. $TO = 'reaky@domain.com'; $FROM = $TO; s/^//; open(MAIL, "\|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"); print MAIL "EOT"; To: $TO From: $FROM Subject: SME Log Alert: $_ $_ EOT close(MAIL); +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When It tried to send emails I found that I must restart syslog every time to send the mails to sendmail, In another word it buffer the emails tell I restart syslog-ng then It forwerd it to send mail and can see it in the mail log. Do you have any idea for that ? Thanks

SirMeowmix_III @windstream.net	reply to reaky I do this with a syslog-ng filter expression, a new destination as a FIFO, and some Perl script that reads the FIFO and uses Mail::Mailer to send an email. I can share this code if you wish.

reaky join:2004-01-18 Killeen, TX	Hi friends I have syslog-ng installed in RHEL5 server, I make it as CEntral log for all servers in my network, Filtered by IP Now What I want to do is make it send to me an email for a specific log for one of my server, In other word when any log sent from this IP (192.168.1.1 ) For example to send me email with this new log value to myemail@mydomain.com The following is the part of configuration for my syslog-ng.conf that related with remote servers. ============================================= source s_remote { tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); }; destination d_separatedbyhosts { file("/var/log/syslog-ng/servers/$HOST/$FACILITY.log" owner("root") group("root") perm(0640) dir_perm(0750) create_dirs(yes)); }; log { source(s_remote); destination(d_separatedbyhosts); }; =============================================== Thanks Best Regards Reaky
