Revision as of 03:13, 7 June 2008
The Syslog / MySQL Pipe script is the best I could do from what I could gather from examples. It does however drop-out and require restarting. My fix was to use a cron job to restart it daily. Could any fellow Wiki member here care to expand on what I have missed in order to improve it?
There is just a few more things to add to the Syslog-NG article before it's finished, but any help on the above issue would be greatly beneficial.
Best regards,
DrModiford.
