Hi,
We have been looking at why we don't see messages from netconsole ending
up in our logfiles. netconsole is a kernel module that sends information
of kernel panics to a syslog server. The documentation indicates it should
work with syslog as an endpoint but that is not true with rsyslog,
apparently :)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432160
Also, I have noticed that our central rsyslog-server (more than 400
systems log to it) have directories with names like: Detected/, exiting/,
ext3_abort/, EXT3-fs/, journal/, last/, martian/, program/, Remounting/,
Restarting/, ... So it is obvious that something is not working as
expected coming from the kernel.
>From information I found online, a message formatted like:
<4>Testing
through netcat should work for testing the syslog connectivity, but it is
clear that rsyslog only accepts:
<4>Oct 7 12:34:56 hostname Testing
but of course I cannot influence our production kernels to do the right
thing. What can I do to have rsyslog accept the "wrong" thing ? :)
Advice is appreciated :)
