Hi, In the past I've used a standard check_tcp Nagios plugin to confirm that rsyslog was accessible on our receivers. This produces a bit of noise in the logs since the connections don't follow what I assume would be standard client connect/disconnect behavior. I've always ignored the noise as it's intermittent, but figured it might be worth crafting a proper check.
I'd like to craft a plugin that sends a small test message to rsyslog via RELP (since that is what we're primarily using). I'd setup a rule in rsyslog to match/ignore it, but receiving it would be enough for a future Nagios check to confirm (that at a basic level) remote rsyslog connections are working. Any pointers? I considered digging into the C source code, but I don't think my skills are up for that task just yet. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list https://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com/professional-services/ What's up with rsyslog?
