syslog-ng Open Source Edition 3.16 - Release Notes

pipe: Sending messages to named pipes

pipe: Sending messages to named pipes

The pipe() driver sends messages to a named pipe like /dev/xconsole.

The pipe driver has a single required parameter, specifying the filename of the pipe to open. The filename can include macros. For the list of available optional parameters, see pipe() destination options.

Declaration:
pipe(filename);

Caution:

Starting with syslog-ng OSE 3.0.2, pipes are created automatically. In earlier versions, you had to create the pipe using the mkfifo(1) command.

Example: Using the pipe() driver
destination d_pipe { pipe("/dev/xconsole"); };
