syslog exabgp

[Ke Sai]

Currently our env writes logs to a file "destination = /var/log/exabgp/exabgp.log" w/o any timestamps.  I want to configure it for syslog.  Does anyone have a basic config for this?  I do not have a test environment to test this which makes things a little bit harder.

Here is my current exabgp.conf for syslog-ng

# ExaBGP

destination exabgp {

        file(

                "/var/log/exabgp/exabgp.log"

                group("_bgpd")

                perm(0666)

        );

};

filter f_exabgp {

        program("exabgp"); # <== not sure if I need this or not?

};

log {

        source(s_src);

        filter(f_exabgp);

        destination(exabgp);

};

Hello,

Not being a user of syslog-ng this is a stab in the dark:

Use "host:127.0.0.1" as the log destination and make sure syslog-ng is listening locally.

Good luck,

Thomas
