sql_exec arguements | Log collection solutions

#1 dreschda 9 years ago

I have the following sql_exec command outline in my config:

<Output out>
    Module      om_odbc
    ConnectionString    DSN=nxlog;
    <Exec>
      sql_exec("INSERT INTO eventlog (hostname) VALUES (?)", '$Hostname');
    </Exec>
</Output>

This is exactly how the 2 examples in the documentation have it set up, I cannot seem to get it to work though I get the following error in my error log:

procedure 'sql_exec()' does not exist or takes different arguments

Can anyone shed any light on why this would be happening or exactly what arguements it is looking for? Thanks

The return value of the function sql_exec() needs to be handled so you need to wrap it in an if statement:

Exec if ( sql_exec(...) == TRUE ) {};
