Syslog 2.1 - Doesn't show any register

[rsanchezre]

Hi,
I'm running cacti 1.1.6 and syslog plugin 2.1. When i try to see some syslog register (Syslog tab - System logs), it doesn't show me any of them.

I made the following,

- I've check that the syslog plugin was installed correctly.
- I've set up the config.php correcty.
- I've checked that syslog messages are comming from devices and they are inserted into syslog_incomming table of MySQL.
- I've checked that syslog_host table is filling up.
- I've not have error messages in cacti logs.

So, I'd apprecite if you could tell me what can i see to resolve my issue
Regards.

Hi Itkroplis,

Thanks for answer....
Here you have both configurations

this is sylog-ng config file

source s_all {
udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514));
};

destination d_mysql {
sql(
type(mysql)
host("localhost") username("cactiuser") password("XXXXXXXX")
database("syslog")
table("syslog_incoming")
columns("facility_id","priority_id","programn","date","time","host","message")
values("$FACILITY_NUM","$LEVEL_NUM","$PROGRAM","$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY","$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC","$HOST_FROM","$MSG")
);
};

destination remotos { file("/var/log/BST-$YEAR$MONTH$R_syslog.log"); };

log {
source(s_all);
destination(d_mysql);
destination(remotos);
};




and this is config.php (/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/syslog)

*/

global $config, $database_type, $database_default, $database_hostname;
global $database_username, $database_password, $database_port;

/* revert if you dont use the Cacti database */
$use_cacti_db = false;

if (!$use_cacti_db) {
$syslogdb_type = 'mysql';
$syslogdb_default = 'syslog';
$syslogdb_hostname = 'localhost';
$syslogdb_username = 'cactiuser';
$syslogdb_password = 'XXXXXXXX';
$syslogdb_port = 3306;
}else{
$syslogdb_type = $database_type;
$syslogdb_default = $database_default;
$syslogdb_hostname = $database_hostname;
$syslogdb_username = $database_username;
$syslogdb_password = $database_password;
$syslogdb_port = $database_port;
}

/* field in the incomming table */
$syslog_incoming_config['dateField'] = 'date';
$syslog_incoming_config['timeField'] = 'time';
$syslog_incoming_config['priorityField'] = 'priority_id';
$syslog_incoming_config['facilityField'] = 'facility_id';
$syslog_incoming_config['hostField'] = 'host_id';
$syslog_incoming_config['textField'] = 'message';
$syslog_incoming_config['id'] = 'seq';

?>

Hi;

Your syslog_incomming table is on syslog data base or cacti data base?

[Pucho]

destination d_mysql {
sql(
type(mysql)
host("localhost") username("cactiuser") password("XXXXXXXX")
database("syslog")
table("syslog_incoming")
columns("facility_id","priority_id","programn","date","time","host","message")
values("$FACILITY_NUM","$LEVEL_NUM","$PROGRAM","$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY","$HOUR:$MIN:$SEC","$HOST_FROM","$MSG")
);
};

You've got a typo in there that might be causing your syslog-ng to fail the query to the database.

programn != program

Code: Select all

MariaDB [cacti]> describe syslog_incoming;
