Hi,
I just noticed that 11.2 uses rsyslog instead of syslog-ng that was used previously. What is the advantage? The syntax is rather weird.
That's a coincidence - I have just recently been reading up on rsyslog, but I hadn't noticed that it was already in 11.2.
Comparison of rsyslog / syslog-ng:
I'm worried about this one: Config File config file format compatible to legacy syslogd but ugly clean but not backwards compatible because it makes for a hard transition, I don't undertand the syntax; although the ability to include files is interesting. I'll have to read the doc, find examples...
From my point of view, the advantages are (roughly):
- it's multithreaded - support for include files in the config - guaranteed delivery in a central logging setup.
There are no doubt others, but those are the ones that I'm interested in. I think(!) rsyslog might perform better in a high-load environment.
Maybe. For a home setup like mine that is not needed. For now, my next step is to be able to log external sources (my router). Then I have to learn how to fire an external script triggered on a certain message, and then add a line to a log on the output of that script. This is a nightmare with syslog-ng, because apparmour strongly dislikes it, so much that I had to disable AA for syslog-ng. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
