I'm trying to transition from sysklog and initially planned on using syslog-ng, but have since been turned on to rsyslog. I have a working copy of syslog-ng and I routinely test sends of larger log messages using netcat, rather than logger, because logger has a 1024-ish byte message size limit. I would instead put my large message in /tmp/file and do something like this:
nc -w0 -U /dev/log < /tmp/file Pretty straightforward and works fine when testing syslog or syslog-ng. Unfortunately, it does not work with rsyslog, even though logger does. Even in debug mode, I see no response from rsyslog when I run this command. Is there something I'm missing here?
