If possible it would be extremely helpful if you could start rsyslog with a -dn option. Take the output of that and post it into pastebin for viewing. Unfortunately with no output to go on, it is difficult to say definitively what might be the problem.
Also, as Rainer has pointed out, omprog for 7.6.3 is very much 'Old Technology'. He has made huge improvements for that module in the 8.x series of Rsyslog. If you intend on using omprog, you should seriously considering upgrading. -- James -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Muhammad Asif Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 6:11 AM To: rsyslog-users Subject: Re: [rsyslog] Want to run python code using omprog on rsyslog 7.6.3 Rainer: first of all many many congratulations on wining the Football world cup. Just to mention that the footballs used in the world cup were made in Sialkot Pakistan :) Now coming back to the point, almost 4 of our team members are exhausted in the efforts to run any external plugin so far no vain. > > what does "not working" mean.

Our .py file is as follows: import sys import time fd = open('/opt/arif.txt', 'w') fd.write("Opened logfile\n") while True: line = sys.stdin.readline() if line: fd.write("Received: %s" % (line)) else: break fd.close() Please tell us how to verify. At our end, no error comes. Our Rsyslog is version 7.6.3 and we have tested it on version 8. Please help. Also PFA a .py file that is exactly mentioned in the ( http://www.rsyslog.com/writing-external-output-plugins-for-rsyslog/) but nothing happens. This is the problem that nothing happens.
