I get the following error while trying to compile rsyslog-3.10.3. How do I proceed?

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

argh, I feared that rfc 3195d was not yet fully included in autotools. Do you actually need 3195? I ask becaus e you would be the first one I see who actually does . If you don't need it, simply turn 3195 off. That fixes the issue. I have planned to look into 3195, but as nobody ever was interested in that option, I didn't so far bother looking into it...

Rainer

haha sorry! Didn't mean to open a can of worms!

I'm working on a project that may require implementing ATNA (an IHE standard), I'm not sure if you're familiar. Anyway, the standard requires support for RAW and COOKED syslog formats. We thought we'd 'give it a shot' so to speak, but we're somewhat reluctant because the standard seems to be partially implemented and moving slowly.

Ah, I see! IHE triggers something in me. You wouldn't be happy even if it worked. It is a conservative implementation of 3195 and conservative means that it abides to the 1024 character limit that there *is* in 3195 (I know someone in IHE found a loophole where it is not 100% clearly stated that 1K is the max size).

But... that was the bad news. The good news is that there is now work on 3195 and I think this time it will be gotten right. At least I plan to base almost all *future* protocol work on 3195 (or more precisiely BEEP, rfc 3080+3081). But there are some things to be done in the core engine first. So, again bad news: I think it will be at least late spring before we see great and real native 3195 support in rsyslogd. But I am sure it'll be there if nothing totally unexpected happens.

Rainer

Thanks for the reply Rainer. I'll discuss with my superiors if it's feasible to continue on this path, use what's available and hope for better support down the road, or start looking into an alternative.

Thanks!
