Package: rsyslog Version: 3.16.1-1 Severity: wishlist User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertag: debian-eduOne issue with large scale deployment of Linux is the need to configure each client. It would be easier if the clients were able to automatically derive their configuration using network services. This is successfully done with MS Active directory, where it uses DNS to locate the LDAP servers, and then uses the LDAP rootDSE to figure out the LDAP base. The DNS feature is using the mechanism described in RFC 2782 to find servies. It would be great if rsyslog could locate the local syslog servers using the same mechanism. This one-liner show how the SRV record at _syslog._udp can be used to locate the syslog servers: syslog_servers=$(host -N 2 -t srv _syslog._udp | rev | awk '/VRS/ {print $1}' | cut -d. -f2- | rev) Please implement a way to enable this in rsyslog, preferably using debconf preseeding to allow it to be set automatically at install time.
Looks interesting. I don't have access to such a setup so I can't really implement and test such functionality.
So, patches are welcome. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
