[syslog-ng] can syslog-ng extract part of the hostname and make directory on the fly?
From: fedora fedora <fedorafans_at_nospam>Date: Fri Jul 22 2011 - 14:28:35 GMT
To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu
I have few hundreds of hosts, and say
hosta has dns name groupa-hosta
hostb has dns name groupbhostb
hostc has dns name groupc.hostc
..etc..etc (note the first 6 characters defines the group)
When a log comes in, can syslog-ng extracts the first 6 character from dns
name, and drop the log file to the corresponding group? (So log from hostb
will go under /log/groupb/groupahostb )
I cannot predefine the groups though, since i don't know how many groups
will be there, the only thing i know is the first 6 character of the
hostname will be the group name
thanks
