= DESCRIPTION:
Installs rsyslog to replace sysklogd for client and/or server use. By default, server will be set up to log to files.
= REQUIREMENTS:
== Platform:
Tested on Ubuntu 8.10.
== Cookbooks:
= ATTRIBUTES:
* rsyslog[:log_dir] - specify the directory to store logs (applicable to server only)
* rsyslog[:server] - specify the remote rsyslog server.
* rsyslog[:protocol] - specify whether to use udp or tcp for remote log transmission. tcp is default.
= USAGE:
To replace the sysklogd syslog service with rsyslog:
include_recipe "rsyslog"
To set up a client with a remote [r]syslog server:
include_recipe "rsyslog::client"
By default, this cookbook will use TCP so the server should be configured for TCP. This can be done easily with the server recipe:
include_recipe "rsyslog::server"
To switch to UDP, change the rsyslog[:protocol] attribute. Note this needs to be done on each client as well.
Also, the server configuration will set up log_dir for each client, by date. Structure:
<%= @log_dir %>/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HOSTNAME/"logfile"
