I should mention that the csv files are on a windows box, so using logger is out :-(<br />

<div>
Converting formats is always possible, and even easy with perl.<br />
<br />
What fields are there in the csv file, and what format is the syslog file?<br />
<br />

I think the tricky part is going to be taking in text and pushing the data out to udp port 161<br />
<br />
so let's say I &nbsp;have a line of text:<br />
03/28/2006,10:00:00,Authen<wbr /> OK,cisco,Engineering,10.1.<wbr />1.2,tty130<wbr />,20.1.1.1<br />
<br />
These fields are as follows:<br />
$DATE, $TIME, $MSG, $USER, $GROUP, $CALLERID, $NASPRT, $NASIP<br />
<br />
So I need to read each line with these tokens and spit them out to a syslog server.<br />

</div>


<div>
Nice!<br />
Does this just log to the local syslog service? What if it's on winders?<br />

</div>


<div>
Also, how do I read the values from a .csv file instead of declaring $_ ?<br />

</div>


<div>
while( &lt;&gt;&nbsp;){<br />
my($DATE, $TIME, $MSG, $USER, $GROUP, $CALLERID, $NASPRT, $NASIP) = split/,/;<br />
...<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
Net::Syslog talks to any syslogd you can reach over the net.<br />
You can set SyslogHost to the address of the remote syslogd &nbsp; &nbsp;

Hi Perl junkies :-)<br />
<br />
Is there a way to parse a .csv file and convert the strings to syslog?<br />
I want to take in a log file and forward the information to a syslog server.<br />

Thanks!

CSV2Syslog perl script

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
