RE: [Iptablelog-users] Handling variable log names?

[Michael L. <mi...@s2...>]

syslog-ng differs from syslog, it can be set to automatically open a new log
file every day/week/month/...  So, I've got a new log file coming into existence
every day, and I was wondering if there was any way to have feed_db notice that.
If it doesn't, could hack in a check to see if the date has changed, and open
another file.  Should be easy.  Right?  :)

the feed_db.pl script just tails your firewall log file and inserts the entries
into the DB. there's nothing else outside of that... if syslog was restarted you
might have to restart the feed_db script to re(open) the file. I myself set up a
script to kill the process, rename the log file and restart everything back...

I've been using syslog-ng to manage my logs, and have it generating a new 
firewall log on a daily basis.  Does IPTables log handle this situation, or 
would some poking and prodding be required to get it to work?
