I have recently begun the process of updating our rather extensive rsyslog infrastructure from v5.8.13 to v7.4.3; while so far it has been mostly smooth, I am running into an issue with a template we have to create dynamically-named log files. This is the template we created with our old v5 configs:
$template EventArchive, "/logs/events/%$year%_%$month%/%$day%/event-% $now%-%$hour%-%$qhour%.gz" Then later it is called with: $OMFileZipLevel 6 *.* -?EventArchive This would put all the files from 1215-1230 on 3 Sept 2013 in a file named: /logs/events/2013_09/03/event-2013-09-03-01.gz However, I'm running into an issue now where the $qhour variable is always resolving to 00 ever since upgrading to v7.4.3. As far as I can tell from the docs, $qhour should still resolve properly in v7; I don't see any complaints about this from rsyslog when I run the configs through debug mode. Any idea why this is happening? If I'm going to rewrite these in the v7 syntax, is this what I want to do? template(name="EventArchive" type="string" string="/logs/events/%$year%_ %$month%/%$day%/event-%$now%-%$hour%-%$qhour%.gz") $OMFileZipLevel 6 *.* -?EventArchive _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
