Re: Alert or log?

["Paul B. Poh" <paul () paulpoh com>]

It's funny you mentioned it.

I posted a somewhat similar question to the devel list a few weeks ago. 
I was wondering why some of the preprocessors don't call CallLogFuncs(). 
I didn't get any replies to my query.

But I did make the code changes to some of preprocessors so I can get 
the events when I am using just the log facility.

It seems to me to be an issue for anyone using the database output 
plugin if only log is used.
