I originally posted this on the new skottent.com forum but have had no
replies in a week so I am re-posting here.
Since then I have tried changing the CCSID of the syslog.txt file that
contains the log entry to 1208 but no difference. I have also played with
the format of the file removing the single quotes, trying double quotes
etcetera but the same response is always received.
I am trying to post an entry to a GreyLog syslog server.
I can successfully post a log using curl from a strqsh session - see
example below.
But when I try using the HTTPAPI Command it fails which I was using for a
quick test and perhaps is a limitation of the command ??
This works
The following commands are run before starting qsh
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_QSH_CMD_ESCAPE_MSG) VALUE(Y)
ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_MULTI_THREADED) VALUE(Y)
strqsh
/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"version": "1.1", "host": "example.org", "short_message
": "Testing from QSH using Curl", "level": 5, "_some_info": "foo" }' '
http://Bnelog1.xxxxxx.local:12201/gelf'
$
The $ tells me no error was detected and the entry does appear in the
syslog server
But using HTTPAPI Command no entry is received in the syslog server
