Update: looking closer at the homebrew formula: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/rsyslog.rb
It becomes pretty clear why they didn't need UUID and crypto (because it's disabled in configure), and it also seems to include a patch that (I'm guessing) fixes a compile issue. Still, it looks like my issues came with the later versions. -- Performance Monitoring * Log Analytics * Search Analytics Solr & Elasticsearch Support * http://sematext.com/ On Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 11:14 AM, Radu Gheorghe <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I just noticed that on OSX (10.11.1 is what I have now), I can simply > do `brew install rsyslog` and I'm getting rsyslog 7.4.5.
