Package: debian-edu-config Version: 2.12.36 On the main server logs from the client and ltsp networks could be logged to different files. These files could then be rotated on fixed sizes¹ in order to prevent the /var/log-Partition from filling up. The UDP and TCP input modules both only allow a global rate limit which is not helpful here and I haven't seen a way to apply per-host rate limits in the rsyslog docs. However, since rsyslog v8.2012.0 the forwarding output module supports rate limits² and since we trust the client, a per-host limit can be implemented by setting RateLimit.Interval and RateLimit.Burst there. This also allows for stricter rate limits compared to what is kept locally (either via journald or rsyslog configuration).
