I was asking why you, as the company using RHEL feel like you cannot upgrade to a newer version of rsyslog.
The typical answer is "because support", and I'm pointing out that you aren't using the support from RedHat (because you are asking here), so if support is the reason for sticking with that version, you need to go through your logic again.
I understand that getting enterprise approval to do this is hard, I've been there and faught that battle (and won it, at one of the largest tech companies in the US, definantly top 500, possibly top 100).

It has to do with the slow machine that is enterprise. Big companies want changes in a "dot" release to be minor, for them to not have to worry about all their other applications, features and functions.Since RedHat (for example) adopted RSYSLOG v5 for their RHEL6 release, they will likely never release anything before v5 for it. When RHEL7, or higher, is released they'll look up upgrading packages to higher level. It's the same with any program, MySQL, Net-SNMP ...Jacob On 8/8/2014 12:01 PM, David Lang wrote:As a sidenote, if you are 'stuck' running the old versions because that's what your OS supports, why aren't you asking your OS provider these sorts of support questions? If they can't answer you, then what is the benefit of sticking with the old version?

Support was added in 8.3(.2?) to allow the kind of imrelp per-listener ruleset binding that you're asking for. The newer versions really have done major improvements, and they're not that hard to handle if you use the pre-built packages. Hope that helps.

I run a legacy v5 which is still the default with major Linux distributions like Ubuntu so I'd like to stick with this version… just because it's a default.that's a very old version, you'd have to dig in the codeAnyway, what I have in mind is this, seemingly, common approach: $RuleSet remote … $InputTCPServerBindRuleset remote $InputTCPServerRun 2514this wouldn't do relp, it would do normal tcp right?In my setup, I use rulesets to split local and remote logging. I'd love to user RELP over TCP, but I don't see how if I want to preserve the configuration where local and remote messages are stored in separate files.you can do filtering based on fromhost-ip, if it's from 127.0.0.1 send it to one ruleset, else send it to another one. David LangIs there any way to do it with RELP using rulesets, or do I need to use an entirely different approach?
