rhel6 is now in its last maintenance phase and we only fix critical issues. would suggest upgrading to rhel7 or 8, where you will not have to deal with these issues since logs from early boot are stored in journald by default.

Problem is that I'm not using rhel6, I'm system imager developper and need to support Rhel-6 as per request of many users. Systemimager supports all major distort including newer rhel-8 and old centos-6. Systemimager uses dracut specially crafted module to image a computer from a PXE boot. Imaging need logging. Up to now, it was done manually, but I wanted to enhance logging with a rsylog json I could parse in the same way I do for journald. See it here in action: https://github.com/finley/SystemImager/wiki/ScreenShots It's so easy to fix this module. Even more frustrating is that it's fixed in Rhel-7 while being useless (systemd) Well, while it is easy to fix the code, it is not that easy to release the fix in rhel6. If you and/or your users have a Red Hat account, please file this request in our customer portal, it might increase the chance that anything will be fixed. Otherwise, any change in rhel6 is a no-go. |
