syslog-ng output
 

Hi,

I'm trying to create a a logging system for some applications using ACE Logging strategies and directing the output from the code to syslog-ng. I'm trying to get syslog-ng to print out the line # from where the message was directed to the log file. By default the output doesn't contain any line # information. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

what do you mean by "line #"? you want each new line to have the total number of lines in the file? could you give us more context about your situation?

You know how in the syslog output the text message is displayed from whereever the debug statement was, i need to output the line# in the file from where the message is coming from in the syslog output

For instance this is a call at line 36 in my file called "Use_Syslog.cpp":

MY_INFO( ACE_TEXT ("Testing Macro\n") );

This ouput is directed to syslog-ng's /var/log/messages file. This message is displayed but i also want line 36 as part of the /var/log/messages file entry. I'm able to display the file name but not the line #

Thanks!

how is syslog-ng supposed to know that information?? sounds like this is actually a C++ question aobut how to get that line number within the code.
