function 'create_var()' does not exist or takes different arguments
I'm trying to to save syslog and saving logs with a specific hostname based on the IP address. I'm using a if statement and a vaiable to define the file path I want to use. unfortunately I'm getting the folloging error message: nxlog.conf:32; couldn't parse statement at line 36, character 9 in C:\Program Files\nxlog\conf\nxlog.conf; function 'create_var()' does not exist or takes different arguments.
My conf file is below. Any hint?

Hello,
The arguments you are trying to pass to the create_var() procedure can not be accepted.
I guess the following describes your use case:
create_var(string varname, datetime expiry);
Create a module variable with the specified name. The expiry specifies when the variable should be deleted automatically.
So, in this case you definitely don't need MySBC/Syslog- and .log in create_var('logPath', 'MySBC/Syslog-'+ strftime(now(), '%Y-%m-%d-%H') + '.log').
PS: I could be wrong though. I assume you are trying to set the expiration time and 'MySBC/Syslog-'+ strftime(now(), '%Y-%m-%d-%H') + ‘.log’ seems like you are trying to assign a file name….
