Created attachment 1178549 [details] Screen shot of documentation with call outs. Title: Configuring rsyslog on the Centralized Logging Server Describe the issue: Steps 1 and 3 contain typos that need to be fixed. Suggestions for improvement: For step 1, the documentation gives the following command to add the rsyslog port 514 through SELinux. # semanage -a -t syslogd_port_t -p udp 514 However, the "port" command is missing there, and the full command needs to say: # semanage port -a -t syslogd_port_t -p udp 514 For step 3, the documentation lists the following /etc/rsyslog.conf entries. $template TmplAuth, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log" authpriv.* ?TmplAuth *.info,mail.none,authpriv.none,cron.none ?TmplMsg The last time contains ?TmplMsg, which creates an error when rsyslog parses the config file. Changing ?TmplMsg to ?TmplAuth fixes the issue. Here is the correct config: $template TmplAuth, "/var/log/%HOSTNAME%/%PROGRAMNAME%.log" authpriv.* ?TmplAuth *.info,mail.none,authpriv.none,cron.none ?TmplAuth Additional information: I've added a screen shot highlighting the sections mentioned above. Here is a link to the document: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/3/html/Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/Configuring_the_rsyslog_Server.html

The centralized logging solution we delivered in OSP11 does not use rsyslog.
