Hi, I have problems with rsyslog on C7. In /etc/rsyslog.d/iptables.conf I have: # Log all iptables stuff separately :msg, contains, "iptables: " { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/iptraf/info") stop } THis works fine. In /etc/rsyslog.d/mail.conf I have: # Log all the mail messages in one place. if ($syslogfacility-text == 'mail') then { action(type="omfile" file="/var/log/mail/info") stop } This does not work, neither does a line like: mail.* /var/log/mail/info if I put that in /etc/rsyslog.conf. What am I doing wrong??? Here is my /etc/rsyslog.conf: # 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 #### # The imjournal module bellow is now used as a message source instead of imuxsock. $ModLoad imuxsock # provides support for local system logging (e.g. via logger command) $OmitLocalLogging off $ModLoad imjournal # provides access to the systemd journal $ModLoad imklog # reads kernel messages (the same are read from journald) $ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability # Provides RELP syslog reception $ModLoad imrelp $InputRELPServerRun 2514 # provides RELP syslog transmission $ModLoad omrelp #### 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.
