Sorry, the FileOutput doesn't support message field interpolation in the output
filename like that. Doing so would be quite a departure from the current
behaviour, since each message might conceivably have a different Logger value,
the output would have to be constantly creating and writing to a possibly
unbounded number of output files.
If you have a relatively small set of Logger values, and you know what they are
ahead of time, you can configure a separate FileOutput for each one, statically
setting both the message_matcher and the path values to match each other.
Otherwise, yes, you'll have to write your own output. I'd probably use a
SandboxOutput.
The mailing list can be searched using some of Google's advanced search
features. Just prepend `site:mail.mozilla.org inurl:heka` to your search terms.

I have hekad running on a client to sending to a central server also
running hekad
Client side logstreamer is like this
[myapp-logs]
type = "LogstreamerInput"
log_directory = "/opt/logs"
file_match = '(?P<LOGFILE>[^/]+).log.(?P<DATE>\d+)_(?P<HOUR>\d+)$'
differentiator = ["LOGFILE", ".log.", "DATE", "_" , "HOUR"]
Server side
[myapp-logs]
type = "FileOutput"
message_matcher = "Logger =~ /myapp/"
path = "/opt/log-data/myapp/heka.%{Logger}"
encoder = "PayloadEncoder"
What I am attempting to to is use the "Logger" as the dynamic name for
the file on the receiving end. For reasons outside my control I need to
make the destination file name the same as the source file name to allow
some third-party processing to continue using the expect naming scheme.
I end up with is the file called heka.%{Logger} rather than the logger
name I was expecting from differentiator.
Should I be able to use variables in the path?
Do I have the syntax correct?
or
Do I need to write my own Output plugin to do this?
And lastly is there an easy way to search the mailing list archives.
Thanks
