Can syslog-ng read compressed or archived (tarballs) files as a source file?
Description
Can syslog-ng read compressed files such as .gz, .zip or .tar (tarballs) as a source file.
Cause
By Design.
Resolution
Syslog-ng cannot read any compressed or tarballed files.
There are two options.
Configure the application to store the logs in plain-text files rather that as compressed files or tarballs.
If storing the logs in plain text format is not an option then a scheduled script could be run to decompress the files. Syslog-ng will then be able to read the logs.
