Just a small note.
On a default Ubuntu 18.04 box with rsyslog-8.32.0, /var/log is owned by
root:syslog mode 775.
After upgrading to rsyslog-8.2002.0 from the adiscon PPA
<https://launchpad.net/~adiscon/+archive/ubuntu/v8-stable>, /var/log is
still owned root:syslog, but changes to mode 755.
This means that the rsyslog daemon doesn't have permissions to create
new files under /var/log. This bit me on a scripted VM install, where
I'd replaced rsyslog with the adiscon version, *before* rsyslog had a
chance to create /var/log/syslog.
Obviously it's easy enough to fix once you know the issue, but I just
thought it was worth a mention in case anyone falls into this trap. Or
perhaps you could consider changing the mode of /var/log in the adiscon
package to match the stock Ubuntu install.
Regards,
Brian.
