Thank you Rainer,
I finally got the opportunity to get back to this task.
I was able to get the error to cease and desist from being presented in the
"*systemctl status rsyslog*" output.
However, I have a question as I was expecting to observe a change but, I do
not see the change in Group Ownership of the files.
*How do I associate the directive ($FileGroupNum 2000) with the log file
itself?*
In the case this wasn't obvious to you in the rsyslog.debug (because I
didn't have all that much time to review it myself), I have to
generate multiple log files based on the sources of the datafeeds (based on
facility.severity) into:
1) a separate directory, and
2) the same file name it would have been locally on the source-server.
So, I am using Conditionals, such as these:
if ($fromhost-ip startswith ‘172.20.245.5’ or $fromhost-ip contains
‘172.20.245.101’) then {
authpriv.*
-?SECU
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none
-?MESG
& stop
} else if ( $fromhost contains ‘i42tskvm’ ) then {
*.*
-?MESG
stop
} else {
*.*
/var/log/messages
stop
}
I established the templates (variables) with the following syntax:
$template CATC,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%.log”
$template SECU,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%/secure”
$template MESG,”/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%/messages”
Please, let me know if I need to establish a new email thread for this
independently.
