Re: [rsyslog] Ruleset Queues in v7
You can put queue.type=linkedlist within the action. That would make an action queue that would be specific for that action. If you want to define a different incoming queue per ruleset... I don't know how to do that. At least not from the top of my head. But I can try to find out if you need that and nobody else comes up with a suggestion. I put it on my todo list. It may be that I overlooked that case. Usually not a problem, but I modeled (by intention) the ruleset() construct so that the legacy ruleset directives can not be used to modify the new-style object. Will try to find an answer (and solution, if necessary) within the next few days. Ping me if I do not come back! I have now at least checked the code in question. I actually overlooked that problem. The current versions do not support ruleset queues in new-style config. I hope to be able to look at a cure today.

[rsyslog] [empty syslog] after powerfail
Hi everybody,
I did seek for an answer on your mailing list archive, but did not get a
concrete answer concerning the problem I am witnessing with rsyslog and power
failure.
Here are more info:
rsyslog version: 5.8.5
it happens sporadically that our syslog log file does contain only few system
logs like kernel logs but not any of our logs!
We isolated the problem down and could only reproduce the problem by producing
a hard shutdown (hitting the power button)
When starting up, we noticed that the rsyslogd is running despite no lock was
created in the /tmp/.rsyslog-lock Another consequence is that our
/home/roche/share/log/syslog does not log any of our project traces.
Killing rsyslogd and starting it again will start to log our project entries
into the syslog!
Does someone out there encountered the same problems? Do someone have an idea
why this happens?
Does someone sees a misconfiguration ? Or should I start the rsyslogd in
another way?
here are the configuration files: note: there are no additional configuration
files in the /home/roche/etc/rsyslog.d/
rsyslog.conf---
# Begin /etc/rsyslog.conf

[rsyslog] Ubuntu 12 (Precise) v7-devel packages
Hi all, a few month ago we made our own RPM repository available for testing, and it has been a great help for users and admins to distribute the latest RSyslog Versions on their systems. So to expand the availability of RSyslog V7 to our Ubuntu users, we are happy to announce our first Ubuntu repository for RSyslog, currently containing the latest v7-devel and needed packages. These packages should work well on Ubuntu 12 systems, our own tests were successful. It's my first shot at building deb's for Ubuntu, so I'd appreciate if someone could try them out and let me know any problems or other general feedback.

rsyslog buffers logs in memory, and it does not force a fsync after every log
message is written. As a result, when you do a hard shutdown logs will be lost.
There are parameters to tweak this, but it has a very significant effect on the
rate that rsyslog can process log messages (in the most paranoid mode where zero
log messages would be lost, you can drop from ~400K logs/sec down to ~50
logs/sec if you don't have a high-end disk setup)
When starting up, we noticed that the rsyslogd is running despite no lock was
created in the /tmp/.rsyslog-lock
Another consequence is that our /home/roche/share/log/syslog does not log any
of our project traces.
this sounds like there is something else that's starting rsyslog, other than the
scripts you are showing below.

Re: [rsyslog] Ubuntu 12 (Precise) v7-devel packages
As far as I know there is no way to define a custom repo inside of another .deb package. I suppose you could have it add the custom repo to the system during the install and have it then run apt-get install again. But that seems a bit convoluted to just avoid uploading to launchpad. One thing I am not clear on about this new repository is it for the -devel branch or -stable. On the page it says it is for -stable. Please note that the Ubuntu Repository is open for testing at the moment, and contains only the latest Version for v7-stable. But the packages are for v7-devel 7.3.4. vs 7.2.3 which is the latest stable release.

So to expand the availability of RSyslog V7 to our Ubuntu users, we are happy to announce our first Ubuntu repository for RSyslog, currently containing the latest v7-devel and needed packages. These packages should work well on Ubuntu 12 systems, our own tests were successful. It's my first shot at building deb's for Ubuntu, so I'd appreciate if someone could try them out and let me know any problems or other general feedback. All necessary details can be found here: http://www.rsyslog.com/ubuntu-repository/ Andre, it looks like you are very close to having this setup in a way that can be used as a PPA (It may even be there, just with changes in the instructions). It's probably worth going to the slight extra effort to be able to define this as a PPA. I don't know if I'll have any chance to look at exactly what is needed for this today, but I'll try to get to it. If anyone knows what needs to be done, please speak up and save me the research time :-) David Lang ___ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?

is there a problem if the private package *replaces* an official one (as is the case here)? Sent from phone, thus brief.

Re: [rsyslog] Ubuntu 12 (Precise) v7-devel packages
thanks for that effort. Without having had a closer look at the package itself, I just wondered if you based it on the latest Ubuntu or Debian package? It is based on the latest Ubuntu RSyslog package I could install on Ubuntu 12.04. What I basically did was taking the package source, modifying, adding and updating dependencies like libee, libestr, librelp. Then I created a local repository using mini-dinstall and dput, and added all these packages to it. After initially and successful testing, I uploaded the local repository to our webserver. Also, an observation while skimming through the repo: The 0ubuntu? versioning scheme is usually reserved for official Ubuntu packages. You could use 0adisconX or something like that. This would have the additional benefit, that once there is an official Ubuntu package available, it would supersede your version as XXX-0ubuntuX XXX-0adisconX Thanks for the hint, I wasn't aware of this versioning fact. Your recommendation sounds reasonable, I will change this with the next package update.
