Hi, My rsyslog is not working as expected. I have some thing in rsyslog.d that do well, like this: # Log all iptables stuff separately :msg, contains, "iptables: " { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/iptraf/info") }
No problems with that. Bu what's in /etc/rsyslog.conf like: mail.* /var/log/mail/info
don't do anything at all. Rsyslogd -N1 is OK, rsyslogd -D -N1 looks good too as does rsyslogd -d -N1. Here is my rsyslog.conf. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing I can see as "wrong". In full "Rainerscript" the mail part would be written as (copy from my config, please adapt the file="" part as you like): [code] if ($syslogfacility-text == 'mail') then { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/mail/all") stop } [/code]
Try and check, if this works, well OK, if not, ask again.
Ah, and please check if there is a SELinux problem with the logfile, it could be a permission problem.
