tested debdiff including the patch for Precise ** Description changed:
+ SRU justification : + + The $PreserveFQDN functionality does not work as expected. Even when + defining it as 'on', the fully qualified domain name is not reported by + rsyslog + + Impact : + + Unable to have the FQDN added to the hostname in syslog + + Fix : + + Upstream fix committed to upcoming 7.4 version of rsyslog : + + http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=89ace1e401dc179a20ec283c2f7c2f80becf4700 + + Test Case : + + 1. Configure rsyslog on a system that has the hostname defined with fully + qualified domain name in /etc/hosts : + + 192.168.122.10 rsyslogserver.localdomain.com rsyslogserver + + The hostname -f command should return the hostname with FQDN appended : + + $ hostname -f + rsyslogserver.localdomain.com + + 2. Add the following entry in /etc/rsyslog.conf + + $PreserveFQDN on + + 3. Restart rsyslogd : + + $ restart rsyslog + + 4. Verify in /var/log/syslog that hostname + fqdn appears : + + Apr 25 14:13:29 rsyslogserver.localdomain.com kernel: imklog 5.8.6, log + source = /proc/kmsg started. + + With the current version of rsyslog, only the hostname appears + + Regression : + + Minimal risk as the value defined by the patch is only used if the + $PreserveFQDN variable is defined in /etc/rsyslog.conf, which is absent + by default. + + Description of the problem : + + When adding $PreserveFQDN on in /etc/rsyslog.conf to have the Fully + Qualified Domain Name appended to the hostname reported by rsyslog, the + functionality does not work and only the hostname is reported. + + + Original description (which is wrong as the cited commit does not fix the problem) + You will find patch and information here: http://git.adiscon.com/?p=rsyslog.git;a=commitdiff;h=dec9bcfe2a869b0f70b5f2a18e08a0322ebf5517 Please backport this patch for precise. ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Patch added: "rsyslog-lp1022545-precise.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1022545/+attachment/3653199/+files/rsyslog-lp1022545-precise.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022545 Title: Backport upstream bugfix "$PreserveFQDN on" not working properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1022545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
