Package: watchdog Version: 5.6-6 Severity: wishlist
Hi, Watchdog reboot multiple servers because the file "/var/log/messages" is not changed in time. There was no problem on the server, because there were other entries in the log files. I discussed with the Rsyslog package maintainers (bug report #539739) and they have added a new parameter to configure Rsyslog (version 5.x) to always write the marks. You can follow the discussion at that address: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=539739 Can you add to the Watchdog documentation that when enable settings "file" and "change" for the file "/var/log/messages" it takes to enable the Rsyslog settings "$ModLoad Immark" and "$ActionWriteAllMarkMessages on" ?
