Modular syslog
The modular syslog allows for an easy implementation of input and output modules. The modules that mantain compatibility with its precursor are included in the standard distribution along with four modules: om_peo (an implementation of PEO-1 and L-PEO, two algorithmic protocols for integrity checking), om_mysql and om_pgsql (modules that sends output to a mysql and postgresql database, respectively) and om_regex (a module that allows output redirection using regular expressions).

Re: I can't get msyslog to dump to mysql database
I followed all the step to set up msyslog. I can't get it to log to mysql database. I think it has to do with om_mysql. Here's my log. I also made sure I have libmysqlclient. Can anyone help??

I wonder if u could give me some detail config about
msyslog. eg. mysql.msyslog.conf.etc...
I prefer syslog-ng for SQL
I found this project trying to find a way to direct
syslog messages to an SQL database. For me,
msyslog was frustrating to configure and use.
Then I found syslog-ng and I was able to get it
working with little hassle. Directing to a SQL
database is as easy as writing a script to read a
pipe and have syslog direct messages to a pipe.
See the syslog documentation about the pipe
destination and use the template option.
Re: msyslog not logging to MySQL Database
"ln -s libmysqlclient.so mysql/libmysqlclient.so"
in /usr/lib to solve this problem...
