On Solaris,

1)      If I use both $Modload  ImkLog and $Modload imsolaris,

       A logger command will always generate message twice.
       2011-09-26T11:08:46-04:00 i8-420-02 test: [ID 702911 user.notice] This 
is a test
        2011-09-26T11:08:46.962612-04:00 i8-420-02 kernel: Sep 26 11:08:46 
test: [ID 702911 user.notice] This is a test

        su command will return only one message.
        2011-09-26T12:08:21.643321-04:00 i8-420-02 kernel: Sep 26 12:08:21 su: 
[ID 366847 auth.info] 'su root' succeeded for vl10243 on /dev/pts/4


2)      If I use $Modload imklog only, the logger command will return only one 
message.

       2011-09-26T12:02:20.667780-04:00 i8-420-02 kernel: Sep 26 12:02:20 test: 
[ID 702911 user.notice] this is a test

        su command will return only one message.

         2011-09-26T12:02:47.700657-04:00 i8-420-02 kernel: Sep 26 12:02:47 su: 
[ID 366847 auth.info] 'su root' succeeded for vl10243 on /dev/pts/4


3)      If I use $Modload imsolaris only

        The logger command will return the following message.

       2011-09-26T12:06:01-04:00 i8-420-02 test: [ID 702911 user.notice] this 
is a test

      su command will not return any message.

I only need one message to be generated in the system log (same on Linux), not 
duplicated.

It looks like I can use imklog module alone to capture both kernel and logger 
command message. But I am not sure if I still could miss other type of system 
events without using imsolaris module.

For the kernel message generated, I don't like duplicated time stamp

For example, the following event,
2011-09-26T12:02:20.667780-04:00 i8-420-02 kernel: Sep 26 12:02:20 test: [ID 
702911 user.notice] this is a test

The timestamp  after kernel: Sep 26 12:02:20  because I already have the event 
time 2011-09-26T12:02:20.667780-04:00.

Any suggestions? Anybody have a sample rsyslog.conf on Solaris to share?

Thanks

Victor Lu
