omprog: failed to execute binary '/opt/fancy': Permission denied about fancy HOT 18 CLOSED

Hi @y0tsawin could you show me the output of ls -al /opt/fancy

from fancy.

You need to make sure that rsyslog has the permissions to execute it.

/opt/fancy is in your case a directory but omprog expects the binary there.

from fancy.

binary="/opt/fancy --loki-url http://192.168.0.122:3100"
Can you recommend. How do I have to config omprog ?

from fancy.

Just make sure the fancy binary is in /opt
So when you run ls -al /opt/fancy you should see something like this:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 negbie negbie 3311828 Oct 27 21:07 /opt/fancy

In rsyslog.conf you can set this:

action(type="omprog" name="fancy" template="fancy" output="/var/log/fancy.log" binary="/opt/fancy --loki-url http://192.168.0.122:3100")

from fancy.

But you have downloaded the binary from releases https://github.com/negbie/fancy/releases right?

from fancy.

Btw. I have uploaded a rsyslog.conf example too here: https://github.com/negbie/fancy/blob/master/example/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf

from fancy.

Would you say my setup guide here https://github.com/negbie/fancy#setup is not clear enough and I should improve it?

from fancy.

I have done as you suggest.

ls -al
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3311812 Oct 27 04:24 fancy

rsysconf.conf
module(load="omprog")
$template fancy,"%syslogseverity% %hostname% %programname%%msg%\n"
action(type="omprog" name="fancy" template="fancy" output="/var/log/fancy.log" binary="/opt/fancy --loki-url http://192.168.1.122:3100")

from fancy.

Good, do you still need help?

from fancy.

Can I use this file instead of the original file?

https://github.com/negbie/fancy/blob/master/example/rsyslog/rsyslog.conf

from fancy.

You will need to make some adjustments but basicly yes.

from fancy.

@y0tsawin Do you still need help or can I close this issue?

from fancy.

@y0tsawin attention, version 1.6 is up and requires a different template. Please see readme.

from fancy.

New template should look like this for version 1.6:

$template fancy,"%timegenerated:::date-rfc3339% %syslogseverity% %hostname% %programname%%msg%\n"

from fancy.

Good. It work.
Thank you for your support.

from fancy.

Your welcome. Don't forget to give this project a start if you like it. It's the best way to say thank you to a project on github.
