Please let us know if you have an idea why this error occurs.
I have been involved with this... Tim should have mentioned that it is actually a RHEL 7 only problem, CentOS 7 interstingly works. A difference between the two is that CentOS still uses Oracle's MySQL while RHEL7 has already switched to MariaDB -- what of course should not make any difference. > to troubleshoot this, please look in the MySQL logs and see if it reports an > error when rsyslog connects. It doesn't even try to. The library init fails. So no further diagnostics is available. An strace does not reveal any problems with locating or reading libmysql (I don't have the exact name at hand, today is a public holiday over here and I don't have the test env with me). My conclusion so far is that this is something either really strange or a bug in the build system.
