I'll try this. But I have tried to compile from sources and keep getting the error: make: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete. make: Warning: File `.deps/syslog.Po' has modification time 40 s in the future make all-am make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/software/elephant/Software/rsyslog/rsyslog-1.18.0' make[1]: Warning: File `.deps/syslog.Po' has modification time 40 s in the future make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[1]: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete. make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/software/elephant/Software/rsyslog/rsyslog-1.18.0' make: warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete. I've tried that with the 1.17.5 and 1.18.0 (as above) both give the same problem. > > Any way I can see what the /sbin/rsyslog binary is compiled with? > > rsyslog -v > > will show the compile-time settings. Ok, this is what I see: # rsyslogd -v rsyslogd 1.17.5, compiled with: FEATURE_PTHREADS (dual-threading) FEATURE_REGEXP FEATURE_LARGEFILE FEATURE_NETZIP (syslog message compression) SYSLOG_INET (Internet/remote support) See http://www.rsyslog.com for more information. Hmm.. this doesn't seem to show MySQL?? The 1.18.0 binary I created above with the "skew problem" make shows: # ./rsyslogd -v rsyslogd 1.18.0, compiled with: FEATURE_PTHREADS (dual-threading) FEATURE_REGEXP FEATURE_DB FEATURE_LARGEFILE FEATURE_NETZIP (syslog message compression) SYSLOG_INET (Internet/remote support) See http://www.rsyslog.com for more information. Hmm.. both don't seem to mention MySQL and I know with 1.18.0 I used the "./configure --enable-mysql" as it showed this after the configure: **************************************************** rsyslog will be compiled with the followig settings: Multithreading support enabled: yes Klogd functionality enabled: yes Regular expressions support enabled: yes Zlib compression support enabled: yes MySql support enabled: yes Large file support enabled: yes Networking support enabled: yes Debug mode enabled: no > This for now, will follow-up soon.
