RHEA-2011:1358 - rsyslog enhancement update

Synopsis

rsyslog enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated rsyslog packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rsyslog packages provide an enhanced, multi-threaded syslog daemon that supports MySQL, syslog/TCP, RFC 3195, permitted sender lists, filtering on any message part, and fine grained output format control.

  • This update introduces the new configuration option "SpaceLFOnReceive" and the log format template "RSYSLOG_SysklogdFileFormat". These new features allow users to configure rsyslog to behave like the old sysklogd daemon, available in previous releases.

Users that require sysklogd compatibility from rsyslog are advised to upgrade to these updated rsyslog packages, which add this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
