David, Rsyslog does start up but it stops after some time. I used the 2 lines in /etc/rsyslog.conf $DebugFile '/var/log/rsyslog/LOCALHOST.LOCALDOMAIN/rsyslog.log' $DebugLevel 1
And did kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/syslogd.pid) I don't see any entries in /var/log/rsyslog/LOCALHOST.LOCALDOMAIN/rsyslog.log Even though rsyslog stopped during that time Thanks Mike -----Original Message----- From: David Lang <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 16, 2019 2:00 PM To: Li, Mike <[email protected]> Cc: David Lang <[email protected]>; Li, Mike via rsyslog <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [rsyslog] rsyslog-8.1904.0-1.el6.x86_64 stopped and not starting up EXTERNAL: Verify sender before opening attachments or links. > Then issue kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid) to enable the logging? > What is the command to stop the logging? Service rsyslog restart ? USR1 is a toggle, send it once to turn the logging on, and again to turn it off. Since you are not starting up, in this case, a debug log from -dn on the command line will probably be better than trying to send it a signal after it starts Dvaid Lang Confidentiality Notice:: This email, including attachments, may include non-public, proprietary, confidential or legally privileged information.
