Hello Michael,

you have to define a template and use the correct syntax for dynafiles.

Example (old syntax):

$template DynafileTemplate,"/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/mm_messages"
.info;mail.none ?DynafileTemplate

Example (new, preferred syntax):

template (name="DynafileTemplate" type="string" string="/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/mm_messages") .info;mail.none action(type="omfile" dynafile="DynafileTemplate" sync="on" ioBufferSize="64k" Template="RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat")

Regards
und freundlicher Gruß

Im using in rsyslog.conf the simplest possible change:

##### RULES #####
*.info;mail.none; .......      /var/log/%HOSTNAME%/mm_messages

with "ls /var/log/"
i find the directory %Hostname%, witihn there the logfile.

Mit freundlichem Gruß,

 Hi all,

 sadly .... im facing a problem to very basic configuration in rsyslog.
 im using the well known message and path formats, so special stuff ....

 but:
 when im changing any path for logs, such as /var/log/messages to one
 with variables such as  /var/log/%HOSTNAME%/messages the logs will occur
 under a path '%HOSTNAME%'  not the exceted "localhost.localdomain"

 Sorry ascing this, but in did not find any hint on such error while
 googling.

 thanks a lot for helping (hopefully)
 Michael
