Description Pieter D.J. Krul 2014-10-01 00:13:20 UTC

Title: Configuring rsyslog on the Centralized Logging Server

Describe the issue:
In step 3a, there is no template for TmplMsg holding a destination path, causing any messages sent to TmplMsg will never reach any destination.

Suggestions for improvement:

In step 3a, add a line, similar to the following:
$template TmplMsg, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log" 

Additional information:

Thank you for raising this bug.

I've added the necessary TmplMsg configuration to the 'Configuring rsyslog on the centralized logging server' topic; I expect the change to appear in the next documentation update.

Regards, 
Martin
