Sorry. No idea. What version (both database and rsyslog) are you using?

Hello, I followed your notes to setup rsyslog and omoracle. But even with a test db and two columns it won’t work, see: “rsyslogd: Error message: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column”.

I created the table as follows:
create table test (hostname varchar2(100), message varchar2(4000));

… and found out that if I am only writing one syslog property to oracle it succeeds.

My test configuration:

$ModLoad omoracle
$OmoracleDBUser myoracleuser
$OmoracleDBPassword *****
$OmoracleDB myoracledb
$OmoracleBatchSize 1
$OmoracleBatchItemSize 4096
$OmoracleStatementTemplate OmoracleStatement

$template OmoracleStatement,”INSERT INTO TEST(hostname,message) VALUES(:hostname,:msg)”
$template TestStmt,”%hostname%%msg%”

*.* :omoracle:;TestStmt

Any idea what might cause this?

That’s a very big and detailed walkthrough! I’m currently working with oracle at university and its a bear to handle at times, but this stuff you showed here certainly makes the logging side of it a lot easier to digest.
