Sending emails via syslog-ng
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 |
