- Introduction
- ============
- Since rsyslog version 7.6 we are shipping a new default Gentoo
- configuration. See bug #501982 to learn more about what we were trying to
- achieve by rewriting the entire configuration.
- Important changes
- =================
- 1. "/var/log/syslog" log file is now deprecated
- Beginning with rsyslog-7.6, the "/var/log/syslog" log file will no
- longer being written per default. We are considering this file as
- deprecated/obsolet for the typical user/system.
- The content from this log file is still availble through other
- (dedicated) log files, see
-
- - /var/log/cron.log
- - /var/log/daemon.log
- - /var/log/mail.log
- - /var/log/messages
-
- If you really need the old "/var/log/syslog" log file, all you have to
- do is uncommenting the corresponding configuration directive in
- "/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf".
-
- If you do so, don't forget to re-enable log rotation in
- "/etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog", too.
- 2. An additional input socket in "/var/empty/dev/log" (default chroot
- location) will be created per default
- See bug #490744 for further details.
