From 49ec54d36984b9e91da7bd41e56e65dac22ce830 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rainer Gerhards Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 11:43:45 +0100 Subject: milestone: added capability to use a local interface IP address as fromhost-ip ... for locally originating messages. New directive $LocalHostIPIF.

  • $Sleep <seconds> - puts the rsyslog main thread to sleep for the specified number of seconds immediately when the directive is encountered. You should have a good reason for using this directive!

  • $LocalHostIPIF <interface name> - (available since 5.9.6) - if provided, the IP of the specified +interface (e.g. "eth0") shall be used as fromhost-ip for locall-originating messages. +If this directive is not given OR the interface cannot be found (or has no IP address), +the default of "127.0.0.1" is used. Note that this directive can be given only +once. Trying to reset will result in an error message and the new value will +be ignored. Please note that modules must have support for obtaining the local +IP address set via this directive. While this is the case for rsyslog-provided +modules, it may not always be the case for contributed plugins. +
    Important: This directive shall be placed right at the top of +rsyslog.conf. Otherwise, if error messages are triggered before this directive +is processed, rsyslog will fix the local host IP to "127.0.0.1", what than can +not be reset. +
