I know this comes from upstream (and most likely from the rsyslog

I find it rather disconcerting if there are commercial ads embedded in
help texts I find on my open source servers.
"Disconcerting" isn't the word I would use. Completely unacceptable is what I'd say. I think it's time to put in a bug report to upstream.... I need to check with my manager.
I do note this is not the case in rsyslog on CentOS 7.

"obnoxious" would be the word I would use. I checked on one of my CentOS 6 boxes, and it is there. I never had high opinion about google itself, but today RedHat fell in my eyes one notch down as well.

Hi Mark,
I'm not sure whether upstream is the right place to address this, but I'll try. I just downloaded all versions of the rsyslog sources from rsyslog.com, and found 'googlesyndication' links in the following versions:
rsyslog-4.8.0 rsyslog-5.10.0 rsyslog-5.10.1 rsyslog-5.8.13 rsyslog-6.6.0 rsyslog-7.3.0 rsyslog-7.3.1 rsyslog-7.3.2 rsyslog-7.3.3 rsyslog-7.3.4 rsyslog-7.3.5 rsyslog-7.3.6 rsyslog-7.3.7 rsyslog-7.3.8 rsyslog-7.3.9 rsyslog-7.3.10 rsyslog-7.3.11 rsyslog-7.3.12 rsyslog-7.4.0 rsyslog-7.4.1 rsyslog-7.4.2 rsyslog-7.4.3 rsyslog-7.4.4 rsyslog-7.4.5 rsyslog-7.4.6 rsyslog-7.4.7 rsyslog-7.4.8 rsyslog-7.4.9 rsyslog-7.4.10 rsyslog-7.5.0 rsyslog-7.5.1 rsyslog-7.5.2 rsyslog-7.5.3 rsyslog-7.5.4 rsyslog-7.5.5 rsyslog-7.5.6
Which means it's gone in 8.x.x and in 7.x.x starting from 7.5.6. 4.x.x, 5.x.x and 6.x.x haven't been cleaned ever.
CASE 01544649 opened upstream.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thanks, Pete. I was just discussing it with my manager....

Hi Mark,
CASE 01544649 opened upstream.
Thanks, Pete. I was just discussing it with my manager....
if he agreed to you opening (or backing) the case that would be great. I just became aware that my developer account is not entitled to raising issues :-(
I can send you the reply of RH offline if you want to handle this further.
Pete.
