I'm wondering if anyone out there has any experience with converting log messages to XML format. I've been attempting to do this and have had moderate success. The template feature in Syslog-ng makes this pretty easy in that you can write your tags into a template eg: <host>$HOST</host> <message>$MESSAGE</message> etc. The only problem I have run into is that sometimes the text of a message will contain characters that mess up the XML "code". This happens when the message text contains "<some_string>". It then gets interpreted as a tag and breaks things. The only thing I can think of to do is write a Perl script that "scrubs" the file to pull out any extraneous "<". I was hoping to avoid this. I am very, very new to XML so please excuse me if I'm confusing things. Any ideas? -Cedar Cedar Hannan RagingNet, Inc mailto:channanat_private --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: loganalysis-unsubscribeat_private For additional commands, e-mail: loganalysis-helpat_private
