<h1>rsyslog.conf configuration file</h1>
<p><b>Rsyslog is configured via the rsyslog.conf file</b>,
typically found in /etc. By default, rsyslogd reads the file
/etc/rsyslog.conf. This may be changed by command line option "-f".</p>
<p><a href="http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Configuration_Samples">
Configuration file examples can be found in the rsyslog wiki</a>. Also
keep the
<a href="http://www.rsyslog.com/config-snippets/">rsyslog config snippets</a>
on your mind. These are ready-to-use
real building blocks for rsyslog configuration.
</p>
<p>While rsyslogd contains enhancements over standard syslogd,
efforts have been made to keep the configuration file as compatible as
possible. While, for obvious reasons, <a href="features.html">enhanced
features</a> require a different config file syntax, rsyslogd
should be able to work with a standard syslog.conf file. This is
especially useful while you are migrating from syslogd to rsyslogd.</p>
