Hi all, I would like to report what I believe is a small documentation bug on the following page:
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/imfile.html Apologies if this is not the correct place to do this. I could not find an issue tracker. Specifically, the documentation describes under the "Legacy Configuration Directives" section: > $InputFilePollInterval seconds > equivalent to: PollingInterva The sample just a little bit lower down uses the following syntax: > # check for new lines every 10 seconds > $InputFilePollingInterval 10 Note the "PollInterval" vs "PollingInterval". The use of "PollingInterval" causes the following log message when starting the daemon: > rsyslogd-2124: CONFIG ERROR: could not interpret master config file '/etc/rsyslog.conf'. [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2124 ] > syslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.d/my_imfile_config.conf, line 9:"$InputFilePollingInterval 10" > rsyslogd: the last error occured in /etc/rsyslog.conf, line 28:"$IncludeConfig /etc/rsyslog.d/*.conf" Using "PollInterval" fixes this. My Ubuntu rsyslog package version is 5.8.6-1ubuntu8.4. My rsyslogd version is 5.8.6. I came across this solution via the following Stack Exchange question from another user with the same error: http://serverfault.com/questions/486602/rsyslog-text-file-input-module-error Please could I request that the documentation on the site is updated.
