Well I'm following the installation instructions and when I did the configure it said there was a missing package for libestr.....so I downloaded that and followed the install instructions.....configure....make...makeinstall.....so that went without a hitch.
So I go back to rsyslog and try to configure again and it says that the package is still not installed. oO -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rainer Gerhards Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 10:06 AM To: rsyslog-users Subject: Re: [rsyslog] rsyslog version On Thu, 2013-04-04 at 22:28 +0530, Soham Chakraborty wrote: > Hi, > > I think a sane approach would be to note down the directives you are > using un v5 and then comparing them with v7 to see how they differ, in > behavior and documentation. This never happens in rsyslog. Once a directive and its behaviour is introduced, it is immutable, specifically to not break anything. However, some directives may become obsoleted, but that is rare. Differences can always be found in the compatibility notes, right from the main doc page. The most recent version is always available online: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/manual.html Older versions are in the respective release tarballs. > If your syslog stuff is maintained/supported/used by others, probably > educate them too.

Or that an old version did not properly catch an error in the config, where the new one does. As general advise, one should look at rsyslog startup messages (syslog.*). Many people do not record them and so are puzzled when things go wrong where otherwise a message is available that explains in plain words the cause ;) HTH Rainer > Soham > > > On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 9:24 PM, Josh Bitto <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Currently I'm running version rsyslog-5.8.10-6.el6.x86_64......So > > did some checking and there is a stable release of rsyslog 7.2.6 ST > > is available.
