Hi there,
One of the requirement we got is to migrate the log facilities and files in
syslog.conf to rsyslog,conf without any change. But I found the following
ifdef statements are not recognized by rsyslogd. It always comes back with
syntax error.
# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages
# sent to the loghost machine, un-comment out the following line:
#auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)
mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
#
# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"
# log messages to be logged locally.
#
ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err /dev/sysmsg
user.err /var/adm/messages
user.alert `root, operator'
user.emerg *
)
Is there a way to convert them in rsyslog understandable language?
what you are asking for is for rsyslog to look at an environment variable
from within the config file. As far as I know there is no way to do this.
What I would do is to create two versions of your config file (one if you
are a loghost and one if you are not) and then have some external config
management tool use the appropriate config.
out of curiosity, what syslog daemon were you using before? I did not know
of any that would allow you to do this sort of thing.
