I'm not even seeing test.py in this output
This presentation, http://www.rsyslog.com/writing-external-output-plugins-
for-rsyslog/, says that below version 8 support c files and above 8 provide
support for java, perl and python. So I replaced my python file with c file
named as newtest.c
remember that rsyslog isn't going to try and compile your file, you would need
to compile your C program and use the resulting binary in the rsyslog
configuration
digging a bit I see ssh_logger.py mentioned, is the config the same except
for the name?
Yes, they borh are same except for the name.
but without any logs that would be delivered to this output, rsyslog will
never start it
I also send logs after restarting syslog through rsyslogd -dn command.
The thing is that we don't see that in the debug file you are providing
the .py file should have a #! line, you don't show that in the pasted file
below
As I am running 7.6.3 version so replaced it with my newtest.c
see this http://pastebin.com/zuxVrnhY, and search for newtest.c, but it is
doing nothing see, if there is any problem in my c file. its code is given
below:
FILE *f;
f = fopen("/opt/myfile", "a");
fprintf(f, "%c\n", "paki");
fclose(f);
Try making your program be
#!/bin/bash
echo "$@" >/var/log/someplace
make sure this is executable
After you get this simple example working, then we can move to having the thing
being run be in a different language. Rsyslog doesn't care what language it's
written in, it just asks the OS to execute the filename that you give it. If the
OS can't do that, it's not going to work. Unix Operating systems don't look at
the filename/extension to figure out how to run the file, they look to see if
the first line is #! for a script, or expect it to be a compiled binary.
