Hello, We recently had a new Logsene <http://sematext.com/logsene/> user who had some issues tailing a file with application logs and sending them to our rsyslog. After some digging we looked at the rsyslog version. It turned out to be 5.x. Ancient! But even scarier was that this was on Ubuntu 12.04, which I still think of as relatively new! And then I looked at Ubuntu 14.04 and the upcoming 14.10 and it looks like they only have 7.4.4. I then looked at CentOS 7, which is really new, and that also has 7.4.x!
Aren't all of these quite old and quite different from 8.4.x? Are there *any* semi-common/popular Linux distros that have rsyslog 8.x? Finally, is there anything Adiscon could do or is doing to get 8.x into new versions of some of the more popular Linux distros? In case of Logsene, if we see people having trouble with rsyslog simply because their distros have very old versions of rsyslog, we may simply have to recommend Logstash, because when we recommend that we can be pretty sure people will either have or will get one of the more recent versions.... and this is probably much easier to install because, I assume, manually updating rsyslog is tricky because of dependencies, packages, etc. I was wondering if there is anything that could be done about this from rsyslog or Adiscon side?
