It's hard to say without seeing the actual script. Is your script running as a daemon or are you counting on syslog-ng to start your program per message. If the latter, that's probably not the best strategy. On Sat, May 10, 2014 at 2:24 AM, Peter Persson <webbax@webbax.se> wrote:
Hey,
I got a weird problem with my syslog-ng setup, im logging from alot of cisco machines and that works great. The problem is that when i "pass" this further to a shell program, some lines disapere.
My destination looks like this destination hosts { file("/var/log/ciscorouters/$HOST.log" owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)); program("/scripts/irc/syslog_wrapper_new.sh" template(t_irctempl)); }; The "/var/log/ciscorouters/$HOST.log" writes correct, but the data thats putted trough to "/scripts/irc/syslog_wrapper_new.sh" only get the first line, if it gets flooded (like 5 rows per second).
Do anyone of you have any idea of what might be the problem?
