Hello,
I am currently using an installation of Observium that works very well. I installed rsyslog according to this link : http://www.observium.org/wiki/Rsyslog_Syslog_Server
I tried upgrading it for the first time to the most recent version, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a few hours syslogs stopped showing in the web interface. They do still arrive to the machine according to tcpdump.
I rolled back the server and it worked again, even for a week now. After upgrading it again it does the same, works for a while and then stops.
So I have 2 questions: 1: Where are syslogs saved? In the mysql database?
Depending on how you have your rsyslog server set up, it can be configured to save to local files in addition to being piped to syslog.php, at which point each log will be written to the database.
2: Did anything change regarding to syslog in the major version? I did notice a new logs folder.
I can’t speak to 13.x or 14.x, but 15.x works fine. I had trouble getting rsyslog working initially, but I got it working as follows:
# /etc/rsyslog.d/30-remote.conf # # Based on a default rsyslog.conf file from Debian Jessie (8) # module(load="omprog") module(load="imtcp") module(load="imudp”)
template(name="observium" type="string" string="%fromhost%||%syslogfacility%||%syslogpriority%||%syslogseverity%||%syslogtag%||%$year%-%$month%-%$day% %timereported:8:25%||%msg%||%programname%\n") template(name="hostname" type="string" string="/var/log/remote/%HOSTNAME%.log”)
ruleset(name="remote"){ action(type="omprog" binary="/opt/observium/syslog.php" template="observium") action(type="omfile" dynafile="hostname") }
input(type="imtcp" port="601" ruleset="remote") input(type="imudp" port="514" ruleset="remote”) #<EOF>
Thanks
