# This module allows for various client and server configurations of rsyslog # # Features: # # * UDP, TCP and RELP protocol support # * outchannels and templates # * IPTables support for servers (requires the iptables type) # * Multiple servers can be deployed onto a node using various protocol/port specifications. # # 3 wrapper classes have been provided to support a sane 3-tier logging framework: # # rsyslog::bottom # # This class forwards all logs to $my_loghost over RELP. # # rsyslog::middle # # This class sets up a 3 servers # - udp/514 # - tcp/10514 # - relp/20514 # # The iptables rules are modified to accept appropriate traffic for each instance. # Logs are stored in /var/log/hosts/messages which is rotated to # /var/log/hosts/messages.1 upon reaching 50mb. This class also sets up log forwarding # of all logs to $my_loghost using the RELP protocol. # # rsyslog::top # # This class sets up a server which accepts RELP traffic on # port 20514. The server's iptables rules are modified to accept # appropriate TCP traffic and logs are stored in dynamically created # directories under /var/log/hosts according to the client's hostname # and the current date. # # If needed, more flexible servers and clients can be created by using # the rsyslog::client and rsyslog::server definitions directly.
