The system call that bash, etc uses to sort/read/list the .d/*.conf files utilizes the language and locale of the system. So, if you have systems that differ in these settings, it would be beneficial to understand the different sorting/reading/listing of the config files.
Here is an example of how you can test on one machine for the differences. # env |egrep '^LC|^LANG' LANG=en_US.UTF-8 # locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Using en_US results in the following: # LC_ALL=en_US sort <<<$'zz-MY_FILE.conf\nZZ-MY_FILE.conf\n91-MY_FILE.conf\n99-MY_FILE.conf\n99--MY_FILE.conf\n9-MY_FILE.conf\nZZZ-MY_FILE.conf\n99--1MY_FILE.conf\n999-MY_FILE.conf' 91-MY_FILE.conf 99--1MY_FILE.conf 999-MY_FILE.conf 99--MY_FILE.conf 99-MY_FILE.conf 9-MY_FILE.conf zz-MY_FILE.conf ZZ-MY_FILE.conf ZZZ-MY_FILE.conf Using C results in the following: # LC_ALL=C sort <<<$'zz-MY_FILE.conf\nZZ-MY_FILE.conf\n91-MY_FILE.conf\n99-MY_FILE.conf\n99--MY_FILE.conf\n9-MY_FILE.conf\nZZZ-MY_FILE.conf\n99--1MY_FILE.conf\n999-MY_FILE.conf' 9-MY_FILE.conf 91-MY_FILE.conf 99--1MY_FILE.conf 99--MY_FILE.conf 99-MY_FILE.conf 999-MY_FILE.conf ZZ-MY_FILE.conf ZZZ-MY_FILE.conf zz-MY_FILE.conf -----Original Message----- From: rsyslog <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rainer Gerhards via rsyslog Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2021 12:20 PM To: rsyslog-users <[email protected]> Cc: Rainer Gerhards <[email protected]>; Abdulaziz Loonat <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [rsyslog] order of conf files processed * PROCEED WITH CAUTION - This email was sent from outside the Company * just like bash does - we use the same system call.
