Description James Ralston 2015-05-20 17:55:24 EDT

Description of problem:

In rsyslog 7.x, the imrelp module does not support binding to a specific ruleset [1].

E.g., this won't work:

input (type="imrelp" port="1514" ruleset="custom-ruleset1")
input (type="imrelp" port="2514" ruleset="custom-ruleset2")

This means that sites that bind specific rulesets to specific listeners in order to classify incoming syslog messages from remote clients cannot use imrelp listeners.

This deficiency is corrected in rsyslog 8.x [2].

Please take one of the following actions:

1. Backport this feature to rsyslog 7.x.
2. Rebase to rsyslog 8.x.
3. Provide rsyslog 8.x using an "rsyslog8" package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rsyslog-7.4.7-7.el7_0.x86_64

Backport of ruleset parameter

After this backport, module() and input() have ruleset parameter and input ruleset has higher priority than module ruleset.

There are some configs for receiver:

--------------------------------------------------

ruleset(name="testrs") {
    action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/testfile")
}


module( load="imrelp"
        ruleset="testrs")
input(  type="imrelp" port="5000")

---------------------------------------------------

ruleset(name="testrs1") {
    action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/testfile")
}

ruleset(name="testrs2") {
    action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/testfile2")
}


module(load="imrelp")
input(type="imrelp" port="5000" ruleset="testrs1")
input(type="imrelp" port="10000" ruleset="testrs2")

--------------------------------------------------

ruleset(name="testrs1") {
    action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/testfile")
}

ruleset(name="testrs2") {
    action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/testfile2")
}


module(load="imrelp" ruleset="testrs1")
input(type="imrelp" port="5000" )
input(type="imrelp" port="10000" ruleset="testrs2")

--------------------------------------------------


And sender config:

--------------------------------------------------

module( load="imuxsock")
input(type="imuxsock" socket="/tmp/socket" createpath="on")
module(load="omrelp")

*.* action(type="omrelp" target="127.0.0.1" port="5000")
*.* action(type="omfile" file="/tmp/in.log")

*.* action(type="omrelp" target="127.0.0.1" port="10000")

--------------------------------------------------


logger -u /tmp/socket <message>
