How to use the syslog message as an external program input

rajan_saha

Hi all,

I need to execute an external program which will be triggered when an syslog message is genterated. The external program will use the syslog message as input and use for further process.

My ultimate target is to send an text sms whenever an particular type syslog message is generated.

Any suggestion?

To use syslog message as input for external program, you can pass Syslog Server macros to your program: 

E.g.

${Hostname}

${IP}

${DateTime}

${MESSAGETYPE}

${MESSAGE}
