I've tested rsyslog compiled with mysql support on the latest version of MySQL 5.0.16 and RedHat AS 4 succesfully. Rsyslogd was compiled with mysql-clients 4.x libraries.

• Custom written rsyslog.conf?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Cajt,

thanks for the excellent news. I'll update the status page accordingly. If you let me know your name, I'll happily provide credits.

I've updated my profil

But I have one issue with mySQL. I have configured this:
*.* >127.0.0.1,bla,bla,bla

but the rsyslog using real IP address of the server instead of localhost, my /etc/hosts table is following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
172.20.1.1 syslogtest

I'll do some debug if it's my setup issue on the server.

Note: I've used mySQL 5.x, because there are new features such as views, triggers, functions, ...

Anyway, thanks to you with rsyslog project, because it's a very good replacement of standard syslog and I suppose rsyslog will be a strong rival against syslog-ng

Sorry, I think I did not fully understand. Do you mean it does not work if you say

*.* >localhost,bla,bla,bla

That would indeed be strange. In any case, I suggest running rsyslogd interactively. Add the -d -n options and start it on the command line. The debug output is often extremely helpful.

Rainer

I know the -d option.
I have this problem with rsyslog, daemon going into database through real IP instead of configured 127.0.0.1 in rsyslog.conf.
I'll do debug.

strange - please let me know the results of debug

Rainer

It was strange, now is working properly. I don't know where my mistake was

well... I'd say let's stay tuned if something comes up again and if not let's tribute to Murphy
