rsyslog-formula

Configures and starts rsyslog service. Currently the log file schema is based on the debian default. The formula allows control if rsyslog should listen for tcp / udp connections. Further ikml logging (kernel) logging can be disabled, e.g. for lxc containers. It supports both a client only (sending all logs to another machine) and a server side (receiving logs from mulitple other machines).

Note

Contributions are welcome.

Changelog

April 2015: the default rules were moved from rsyslog.conf to 50-default.conf. This file will be loaded if the rsyslog:custom pillar isnt set. However, if your rsyslog:custom specifies other files to include, you must add the 50-default.conf as well!
