[quote="dlang":o0zyj33v]having rsyslog write logs to a file and at the same
time read logs from that file is a crazy thing to do. At best you have the
potential of an endless loop.

Can you back up a step and explain what you are trying to

Thanks. We have a python app that uses syslog for it's logging.  Why the
developers didn't just send it directly to a file, I don't know since all
the other apps from this vendor do send logs direct to files.  

I'm trying to get all our app logs sent to our nagios log server, but I
still need to have the logs sent to a file for quick debugging. 

So I need to figure out how to get them to a file and sent to our NLS.

Thanks again for the reply.
