I found this after noticing log message started appearing in
/var/log/messages every 5 seconds (after I added the imfile input listed
below) causing /var/log/audit/audit.log to grow rapidly and rotate every 5
seconds or so:

Feb  2 23:40:04 logsene-reports auditd[18337]: Audit daemon rotating log
files


Anyone knows what this is about?

that looks like a SELinux or AppArmor permission problem.

Hi,

Trying to tell the latest 8.7.0 rsyslog's imfile as follows, but it's
complaining about Permission denied.... which looks wrong...

module(load="imfile" mode="inotify" PollingInterval="10")

input(type="imfile"
      File="/mnt/opt/jetty/logs/jetty.stderrout.log"
      Tag="jetty:"
      ReadMode="0")

Feb  2 23:28:12 qqq-reports rsyslogd-2046: imfile warning: directory
'/mnt/opt/jetty/logs': Permission denied [try
http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2046 ]

ec2-user@qqq-reports ~]$ ls -al /mnt/opt/ | grep jetty
drwxr-xr-x. 12 root root 4096 Jan 31 13:48 jetty

[ec2-user@qqq-reports ~]$ ls -al /mnt/opt/jetty/ | grep logs
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root  12288 Jan 31 22:14 logs

[ec2-user@qqq-reports ~]$ ls -al /mnt/opt/jetty/logs/jetty.log
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 194510 Jan 31 22:18 /mnt/opt/jetty/logs/jetty.log

I don't see any info in /var/log/messages about rsyslog dropping
privileges when I restart it.
Plus, everything is readable and the parent directory has the +x for
everyone on it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Otis
