Hi everybody!
I'm logging messages from Apache using cronolog to files with names as
shown: /data/log/%Y_%m_%d_errors.log
Recently became a need to send error log to central host. Ok, no
problem, there is imfile module!:) Next I looked at page
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imfile.html and what I can see?
"File (mandatory)
The file to be monitored. This must be an absolute name."
Ough! Really I can't use dynamic template in imfile? Or it just means
that template should have absolute path?
yep, you can't use dynamic names or wildcards for imfile.
If I can't use tempates in imfile then how I should do it? (I prefer not
to use logger inside apache).
a couple common things people do:
have apache write to a file and then something else rotate it
have apache write to a named pipe and have something listen to that pipe and
deliver it to rsyslog
