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?
# rsyslog configuration file
# For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html
# If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html
#### MODULES ####
$ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command)
$OmitLocalLogging off

$ModLoad imklog # reads kernel messages (the same are read from journald)
# Provides RELP syslog reception
$ModLoad imrelp
$InputRELPServerRun 2514
#### GLOBAL DIRECTIVES ####
# Where to place auxiliary files
$WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog
# Use default timestamp format
#$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
# File syncing capability is disabled by default. This feature is usually not required,
# not useful and an extreme performance hit
#$ActionFileEnableSync on
# Include all config files in /etc/rsyslog.d/
$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf
# File to store the position in the journal
